What made you a Packers fan?

I remember BJ. I think he was on the UHF station. Ray Rayner was on WGN. Ray played a lot of characters in those days. And a few years earlier there was Kiddie-A-Go-Go with Pandora on the other UHF station.

I'm drawing a complete blank on BJ, and I think we are all around the same age. Did his broadcast originate in Milwaukee? If it was WGN back in the 60s we would not have access to it here in SE Wisconsin. Thanks milani.

Yeah for some reason the best electronic devices are developed in Japan. This has been (mostly) true for decades.

Since about 1970.

The transistor

The transistor

That was the start of it all.

That was followed by semiconductors, as far as generational changes in tech. Semis were developed largely outside of Japan. The USA is largely the leader in semis, especially Nvidia. But there is no one-country dominance given. the varieties of semi investments. Taiwan Semi is the only real supplier/builder of chips, especially GPUs. Gaming drove the initial wave, and that's been overtaken by AI. Same kind of chip, different business cases.

The USA also leads, arguably, in networking.
