Five milestones that removed the distance limit on electricity supply, decided a commercial contest fought partly by public smear, and ended in the two systems being combined ra…
Between 1899 and 1910 the living body became an object of measurement, controlled energy delivery and remote manipulation. How each of those three problems was actually solved.
Two recent milestones included for their engineering content rather than settled historical weight: computing became a utility, and pattern recognition became a matter of scale.
Three milestones in which electricity moved into railway traction, and in which the alternating-versus-direct argument was fought again under different constraints.
Nine milestones over a century and a half, at the end of which a complete engineering discipline could be built from results none of whose discoverers were engineers.
Six milestones in which electricity acquired its first mass market, and in which the decisive engineering turned out to be system design rather than lamp design.
Three devices that take over the function of an organ, under constraints unlike anything else in engineering: the load cannot be reduced and there is no safe shutdown state.
Four milestones that connected machines in a building, secured communication between strangers, joined dissimilar networks into one, and put a usable interface on top.
Three milestones that made the interior of the body, and then the sequence of its instructions, into computable data.
A clock that keeps a city's time and a network that carries a city's voice are the same kind of engineering: both distribute a shared reference that nobody owns and everybody de…
Three uses of the same physics that each forced a different discipline into existence: spectrum management, bandwidth engineering and the statistical theory of detection in noise.
Four milestones in the first industry assembled deliberately out of laboratory physics, and the first to design against a transmission medium that could not be inspected.
Interconnection turned separate power stations into one synchronised machine spanning a country, buying shared reserve and merit order dispatch at the price of propagating faults.
Three milestones that made computation a component rather than a facility, gave it persistent storage, and kept both getting cheaper for five decades.
Three milestones that replaced the vacuum tube, removed the wiring between components, and then removed the assumption that computers must be connected point to point.
Three milestones that separated communication from place, made position and precise time a free service, and folded a dozen devices into one.
