The regular readers among you might remember Computer H14, a Jim Henson creation for AT&T that appeared as part of the AT&T Tech Channel on YouTube. The channel is the online home of the AT&T archives, showing off the research and promotional work done by the company over the years, from research into “Light Wave” fiber optics to WIlliam Shatner explaining microchips. For tech historians, it’s a gold mine — some of AT&T and Bell Labs’ work is instrumental in the communications we take for granted today, and the channel gives a chance to see some of these hugely significant inventions as they take shape.
