What a great story Bill. I had no idea nor had I really given Sony’s creation much of a thought. Like the paint on my walls, it’s always been around. But for the losing war these two men were involved in, these two disparate men most likely would never have met in the fairly rigid Japanese society of the time. One could almost call it serendipitous or kismet. These two men met and created what has turned into a large part of our lives worldwide.
It is interesting that we have gone from no electronic music distribution, to the days of the Walkman and now to wireless.
My old, single room stereo system with wires, cables and multiple remotes, has been replaced by my whole house Sonos system with only a single power cord for each speaker - but unlimited control via my phone and iPad. My TV has also gone the same way with a monitor, Apple HomePod speakers and an Apple TV. One wall plug for each device. Fiber optic internet is never blown out by weather.
What a great story! I learned something today.
Me as well!
