Do you know who Jack Kilby is?
You should, but most people do not. Jack Kilby worked at Texas Instruments here in Dallas, Texas and his invention has changed our lives more than any other invention in our lifetime, yet we do not recognize his name.
You see... Jack Kilby was the inventor of the microchip back in 1958 and received the Nobel Prize for his invention. In his obituary, it said he seldom used e-mail and imagine my thrill to stumble upon his estate sale after his death to find his old Royal typewriter, and I knew I had to have it!
