That’s interesting. I used to work in a lab with a really old school electrical guy. He had some background in designing power supplies. He said many power supplies still used vacuum tubes and that vacuum tubes were still quite useful for certain designs. I think I’ve heard that some guitar guys still prefer tube mfg’ed amps.

the irony is that much if not all of industrialization is fueled by the arms race for wimminz, particularly young, fertile wimminz. Men become engineers and technicians even if they don’t know why. Ask an 18 year old, and you will get something nebulous such as “I like math physics and computers”.

The big question is whether we will hit some wall or just watch entropy relentlessly increase over time. Fukushima gives me the impression of dead man walking for the nation of Japan. Maybe they will muddle through but with the national debt, demographic inversion, “grass eaters”, power problems, and radioactive pollution, it doesn’t look good. And that’s today’s problems. There is still concern that one or more of the fuel pools could fail.

For *many* applications the vacuum tube never went away, for some applications if you stretch the “vacuum” a bit they are the ONLY current working solution, such as CO2 laser.

ONLY 1% at a menial practical job? Wow. I thought it was much more.

All those sales clerks and cleaning ladies seem to be VERY much in the minority. Probably because it´s actual work compared to sitting in your local guvinmint Wimminz-daycare center, aka healthcare/tax robber office.

Great real world examples.
laptops are neat but I personally just can´t let go of my aged tower case. Just recently got a nice new GFX card(AMD HD7750) to replace the old one. Bit more performance but about half the power consumption. Awesome.
BTW here´s a nice link for you, may even give you a laugh at the “new technical innovation”: http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/05/return-of-the-vacuum-tube.html
