V32 Telecommunications

Telephony began with Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone in 1876, utilizing wired connections for voice transmission. Throughout the 20th century, various technologies emerged, including manual telephony, automatic switching systems, and wireless radio connections. Mobile telephony took shape in the late 1940s and 1950s with the development of the first mobile communication systems. However, the first commercial mobile phones were launched in the 1980s, which were large and heavy. The real breakthrough came in the 1990s with the advent of digital technologies, leading to the development of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and the first smartphones in the early 2000s. Since then, mobile telephony has experienced exponential growth, with continuous innovations in connectivity, functionality, and wireless technologies, including the rise of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.

V33 A walk through Computer History

After the first commercial digital computers came into operation in the 1950s, a technologically driven development followed that continues unabated at a rapid pace, still 70 years later. When we look back, we see that computer equipment and its embedding in daily life has gone through a complete renewal almost every decade. With the continuous increase in processing speed and memory storage, the development of programming languages, algorithms, storage and control techniques is taking off at a high flight. And with it the application possibilities.
A chronological walk through computer land can never fully show the variety of developments. The composition of this display case aims to typify different periods and is intended as a "feast of recognition" of earlier times.
