💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎧☎️ The first headphones weren’t for #music – they were a 4.5 kg (10 lb) harness invented in 1881 by Ezra Gilliland so telephone switchboard operators could take calls hands-free.
Over 80 years, inventors slimmed them down: the first earbuds with rubber tips (1891), Baldwin’s headband #design (1910), Beyerdynamic’s dynamic headphones (1937), and Koss’s 1958 system that brought headphone listening to the public.

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to attend a documentary screening and panel session where Prof. #FredericoFaggin was the guest of honour. This was organised by the #Italian Luxembourg Chamber of Commmerce and introduced by the Italian Ambassador to #Luxembourg. #Faggin invented the #microprocessor and designed the #4004 #8008 #8080 #z80 and later on via #synaptics #touchscreens and #touchpads .He is a true #pioneer

Oh, the irony! A man who supposedly "invented the future" can't even get past a basic HTTP error. 🙄🔒 Maybe he should have invented a working website first! 😂

104 year old Eddy Goldfarb has invented over 800 iconic toys- some of my favorites, too. He made Stompers, which were HUGE for me as a kid (I still have several). He also made talking teeth, Kerplunk, just TONS of stuff.
Cool piece via Moss and Fog (the embedded YouTube video here is a cool watch, also): https://mossandfog.com/104-year-old-eddy-goldfarb-has-invented-over-800-iconic-toys

»AI Will Not Make You Rich« #GenerativeAI is unlikely to create new #wealth for #inventors and #investors, as its value will be captured by #customers rather than its #builders. Unlike the microprocessor, which spurred a wave of #innovation and #wealthcreation, AI is expected to lead to an #oligopoly, with gains accruing to a few companies. https://joincolossus.com/article/ai-will-not-make-you-rich/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
