Electronic devices are ubiquitious. We casually wear them and carry them in our pockets and let them handle our money and help drive our cars and never give them a thought until they stop working.
Perhaps surprisingly, the basis of electronics are a few types of basic components, assembled in circuits that contain from a few up to thousands of components.
The explosion in electronic devices over the last fifty years is due to a number of technologies, one of which is the printed circuit board.
This in turn depends on a technology familiar to the ancient Romans, called soldering.
In my speech at Wednesday's meeting I will explain and demonstrate soldering and the process of producing printed circuit boards.
