From the Graveyard
You just read about Texas Instruments. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
National Semiconductor built Analog integrated circuits, power management, data converters and interface devices. What became of it?
National Semiconductor brought Analog integrated circuits, power management, data converters and interface devices to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Texas Instruments for US$6.5B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Texas Instruments today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about VoIP. Here is what it replaced:
POTS / PSTN served from 1876. What ultimately replaced it?
POTS / PSTN analog voice carried as a continuous electrical signal over a copper loop to a circuit-switched exchange, which set up an end-to-end dedicated path for the duration of the call. Its job passed to VoIP — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
