Bell Labs was formed in 1925 and was responsible for many of the innovations that created today’s digital era and information age. Author A. Michael Noll will discuss his book about Bell Labs and the unique factors that made it so influential. Slides will document the history of Bell Labs, including its facilities in New Jersey. After Edison’s laboratory, Bell Labs could be considered New Jersey’s second invention factory and the forerunner of Silicon Valley. Presenter: A.
