  • In this University of Pennsylvania video, a panel of experts discusses the historical, scientific and educational merit of the Franklin Institutes Case Files. The Franklin Institute offers an electronic presentation of its Case Files, a repository that exists as the documentary record of the Institute's science and technology Awards program. The University of Pennsylvania's Department of History and Sociology of Science hosted a Symposium to discuss the historical, scientific, and educational merit of the Case Files, which date from the 1820s, as a modern day resource for undergraduate, graduate, and professional scholars, as well as K-12 students. The focus of the presentation was on the early history of the computing industry, featuring key individuals including Hollerith, Burroughs, Eckert, Mauchly, Bardeen, Brittain, and Shannon.

    Amazing ! !
    Though I studied Physics at the IIT Kharagpur 35 years ago, I do not remember most of what I studied as I got involved in promoting use of computers for various activities, the latest being for educational technology,
    I saw a movie e = m c squared which was amazing and it created an interest in me for the history of science.
    I thank the Franklin Institute for carrying on such great work for 183 years !.
    Someday I will contribute to this kind of activity on use of computers
