This illustration is from the April, 1924 edition of Hugo Gernsback’s Radio News. Gernsback was the prolific author and magazine publisher who is often called the Father of Science Fiction. The scan of the cover is from MagazineArt.org which has an extensive set of illustrations from the “Golden Age of American Illustration.” I also like this artist’s conception of the mobile phone.
Chris Herot has been the founder and CTO or CEO of several Boston-area software companies, most recently Convoq/Zingdom Communications, where he provides strategic and technical advice to clients worldwide in the areas of audio, video, and social media.
Ever since he left what is now MIT’s Media Laboratory, he has been building interactive systems to enable people to create and communicate. What he enjoys most is learning about new technologies and finding ways to deploy them to solve human problems. To do this, he has started three companies and formed new entrepreneurial businesses within larger enterprises.
