Because It’s Friday – The Queen

We were all saddened by the news last week of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and offer our condolences to the Royal Family.

Diana and I think that any mourning should also include remembering happier times – for instance the weekend we celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. As part of our tribute to the Queen, that Platinum Jubilee weekend we looked at what was happening in technology 70 years ago:

How many transistors are there in the processor in your computer? A Platinum Jubilee Fact. – Smart Thinking Solutions

IBM 726 dual tape drive. A Platinum Jubilee Fact. – Smart Thinking Solutions

Noughts and Crosses. A Platinum Jubilee Fact. – Smart Thinking Solutions

Encryption and how we got to an internet where you can securely buy things online. A Platinum Jubilee Fact. – Smart Thinking Solutions

There will be no “weekend reads” or posts on Monday, here on SmartThinking.Solutions as a mark of respect.
