Which areas of Technology are you interested in?

Is your interest how the Romans built roads and aquaducts or how the World wide web came about?



I will look all types of infrastructure, buildings and machinery and wonder how it was built but my main interest is Automation & Control. This is a relativly new are of technolgy and I sometimes get the reaction "It doesn't work on steam". However the rate of developement and the lack of corporate interest in last weeks products let alone last years means that we could lose information on recent developments faster than the Victorin era.



So what interests do we have in this community?

  • With regards to the history of Technology my interest is in the communication history of Ireland and how “SHE-Ireland” contributed to the evolution and revolution in communication. I am really interested in the early years of the communication revolution from 1851 to the late 1890s when Ireland made its mark in telegraph history and in the years 1895 to 1921 when Ireland had its most profound impact on wireless communication. However all communication history holds my interest. I know Dr. Donard DeCogan who is a world renown historian and expert on all things associated with communication, I also have a great friendship with Dr. Elizabeth Bruton  who is a  renown   expert on Communication History, especially Marconi. Together, along with Dr. Donard DeCogan we promote the history of communication through the IET HOT and our own group ICRG.
