[NTLK] The Newton at the British Science Museum

[Tony Morrow]

Hey Everyone,

Just got back from vacationing in London and got the chance to go to the British Science Museum again. They opened a new exhibit on the second floor called “Information Age” and covers multiple technologies from the last 150 years ranging from how cables first connected the world, through telephone exchanges, birth and explosion of the web, how the world changed with cellular, and more. In the computing section they had an OMP MessagePad and and eMate on display talking about the first use of the ARM processor and attempt at handwriting technology. Check out the links below. If you are wondering what the gold thing is beside the eMate, that is a gold plated BBC micro. If you have the chance to go to the British Science Museum and highly suggest you check out the full exhibit.
