The Wayback Machine, operated by the Internet Archive, has long preserved websites so researchers, journalists, and the public can revisit and verify the past.

At the , we believe preserving history isn’t just about hardware - it’s about access to information. Without it, accountability, research, and our understanding of technological progress all suffer.

Visitors to the can even explore the Wayback Machine themselves...on a period-appropriate iMac no less (!)...experiencing firsthand how the web is being preserved for the future.

Before we had smart phones in every classroom, we had this plastic hunk of 1960s genius. 🎓✨

Meet the TMI-Grolier Min/Max II. It looks like a chunky typewriter’s weird cousin, but it was actually one of the first big swings at "personalized learning technology."

The vibe was simple:

Read a question on a strip of paper. 📄

Write your answer in the little window. ✍️

Crank the k**b to see if you were right. ⚙️

It was basically a low-tech version of Duolingo, built on the idea that getting an immediate "correct" answer would hit your brain with enough dopamine to keep you learning. No Wi-Fi, no screens, just pure mechanical satisfaction.

Thanks to Dr. Jennifer Brannon for the donation!
