but why do we remember shit? It like taking a really hard trip and nothing is real, or word worthy? But you come back and you remember that and all you already know? You dont forget your ABC's but why..
Forgetting is a neccesary part of surviving man. If we didn't forget we'd never thrive because we'd be too busy worrying about how we may have done this wrong in the past so how do we know we won't do it wrong now. Such as catching things on fire.
Analogue to digital conversion by glassware! This is an extract from an article on pulse code modulation, from Electronic Engineering magazine, April 1953, describing a very ingenuious use of a cathode-ray tube to perform 7-bit analogue to digital conversion, outputting a serial binary data stream from an analogue input. Meacham and Peterson* have described a system which uses a special form of cathode-ray tube for the coder. The signal of each channel is sampled every 125 microseconds and the outputs from 12 channel modulators are commoned to form a pulse-amplitude modulated T.D.M. system. Because the operation of the coder takes longer than 10.4 microseconds two coders are provided, each dealing with alternate channels.
