Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
The very first issue from 1930 has introductory notes from Edison and Millikan[1].
I hope to find a few pivotal moments in there - the transistor? ads for early PCs? Let me know if you find anything good :)
(I should probably look into the 50th birthday commemorative issue of 1980, it may list some of these famous dates/issues).
