I watched a fascinating video of a guy explaining, in detail, how vacuum tube radios worked. Quite a joy to watch.
I'm glad I didn't take up Electrical Engineering as a major. All the fun of using signal generators and oscilloscopes is gone. Just program a Raspberry Pi to do it. or a circuit simulator on your computer. Sigh. EE is no fun without getting accidentally zapped by A/C once in a while or letting the smoke trapped in a transistor out.
It's like hotrodding a car by plugging in a laptop. Ehhh no.
- saturn8601 2y agoThats more 'computer engineering' no? EE also has things like Power Systems, RF, solid state if you want to go into chip design and the like.
