warewolfsmith writes "The Bulova Accutron. Introduced in 1961, it was the first successful transistorized watch, far more accurate than any other watch then on the market and a major advance in timekeeping technology. Prior to reading this article I had never heard of it. Interesting history." There are a number of websites devoted to it.

It's far quicker than sending something in the mail and a real advancement in communications technology! Prior to learning about the fax machine, I had never learned about it before. Very interesting." Gee, we are really running short on stories today.
