A picture of technology from an earlier time-- David Larsen and the LCF Group have arranged a `micro` display in the Floyd Professional Center (Suite 8 at Floyd Village Green). The display changes from time to time, and describes the newest technology as it was pre-1980. Enjoy the exhibits, and educate and/or remind yourself about how it was `before cell phones and i-pods`.
Also showcased in this micro-museum are all of the popular `BugBooks` and `Blacksburg Continuing Education` series of books. In the `70s and `80s, these books were a staple for technicians, engineers and users of microcomputers-- an important part of the digital revolution (more info at www.bugbookcomputermuseum.com).
This retelling of the history of microcomputers and related electronics is interesting indeed. It has been a dream to share these stories, which has come to fruition over a number of years.
Since the complete historical collection is of `Smithsonian quality` and has more items than can be housed in a current facility, we`ll wait until the time is right. It is planned that this display will be the start of a historical technology museum in Floyd, `BugBook Computer Museum`, which will be a different type of tourist attraction for the future. It is now a matter of location, the process of building, and time to develop exhibits of the caliber that folks will want to come and see.
