Pastoral Site of Historic Inventions Faces the End - New York Times
The end of an era! The big Bell Labs complex in Holmdel will be demolished.
I remember one visit there many years ago when Arno Penzias, the Nobel Laureate who was behind the 'Big Bang' theory was discussing the future of cell phones, then only an experiment in Chicago. He said they would be great for people traveling on buses and other public transportation. I don't think he foresaw the explosive growth and pervasiveness of the technology in society.
