- KhalidOctober 6, 2013Check out the Babbage Machine , it was designed in the 1830s but could not be built because of its great cost. The machine was built using Babbage's design in the 1990s and worked perfectly!
- Bohdan HnatkovskyyJune 6, 2015The best place to get known about history of semiconductors, computers and technology at all. After 1:00 PM you could sit inside of Google self drive car.

- Adam WeinrothJuly 25, 2013When going through the exhibits, count up the machines and devices you've personally owned - it might be more than you think!
- Jason SherronFebruary 26, 2012Of note: Microsoft is virtually absent in this telling of the story (and software is pretty light in general). I'm biased but still surprised by it.
