IEEE Virtual Museum

We're suckers for good museums about technology, although it must be said that many of the things we grew up with, like the record player, are now considered museum pieces. Nevertheless, this collection focusing on technology developments around electricity is fun and informative. Exhibits include: "How Electricity Came to Be"; "Let's Get Small: The Shrinking World of Microelectronics"; "Powering the Electrical Revolution: Women and Technology"; "The Beat Goes On: How Sounds are Recorded and Played"; and "World War II: How War Impacted Technology, How Technology Impacted War." This site was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, better known as the IEEE.
