Story
Nearly fifty years into IBM’s existence, Thomas Watson Jr. undertook the biggest gamble in business history when he “bet the farm” on the creation of the IBM System/360, the world’s first fully integrated and compatible mainframe computer. As CEO, Watson drove a revolution no other company—then or now—would dare, laying the foundation for the digital age that has transformed every society, corporation, and government. The story of Watson being “present at the creation” of the digital age is intertwined with near-Shakespearean personal drama

Story
This selection comes from the 1910 book on the history of the telephone by Herbert N. Casson. The two sections cover the birth of the phone and its future. What makes this fascinating is how 110 years ago writers viewed the future of such a communicative device.
