Step back in time with the sounds of the IBM 1401. This is what computing sounded like before screens, apps, and notifications. Every click, whirr, and punch card is part of a system that helped shape the digital world we live in today. #ComputingHistory #TechHistory #IBM

It’s often said that the computers we carry in our pockets today were once the size of entire rooms. They’re talking about this beast. #ComputerHistory #IBM #TechHistory

A visit to CHM is shaped not just by what’s on display, but by those who help interpret it. We’re proud to celebrate the volunteers who make each experience more engaging, insightful, and memorable. Learn more about becoming a volunteer: bit.ly/4vNxlRV
