Technology enthusiasts show off history of computing in Katowice museum
Polish computer engineer Romuald Jakobiec's life is tightly linked with the history of computers.
He was involved in building the first Polish transistor computer 'Odra', which began production in Wroclaw in 1972, and one of the last examples of which is housed in a room in Katowice's Museum of Computer History.
'Odra' weighs several hundred kilogrammes and is formed of several bulky parts which process data recorded on punched paper or magnetic tape and its memory is made of kilometres of cables organised by hand.
Jakobiec, who now volunteers at the museum, says with the rapid evolution of technology individual components on modern devices now have the same processing power of 'Odra'.
Poland's Communist-era computer engineers were under a great amount of pressure to develop computers out of scarce materials, says museum director Krzysztof Chwalowski.
Prototype Polish computers often featured components smuggled across borders. There are anecdotes of engineers hiding processors in sandwiches to escape detection and arrest, according to Chwalowski.
The appeal of the museum goes further than those who built or grew up with computers now perceived as antiques.
Fellow volunteer Mateusz Wlodarczyk has just finished a course in information technology, but says he is fascinated by the construction of old computers and software.
COMPUTER ENGINEER AND MUSEUM VOLUNTEER, ROMUALD JAKOBIEC, SAYING:
The computing power of the processors has increased, because at the moment that 'Odra', which you can see over there, which is (the size of) one of these cabinets, it (the processing power of Odra) now fits into one circuit system on a small board with many times greater computing power. And then you put software and high-level programming languages on it, which at the moment allows (usage of) very efficient software and allows building and thinking about artificial intelligence which we could not have dreamed of then (in the 1970s when Odra was built).
What we have today is the result of such evolutionary development. I think that the younger generation that will work with completely different possibilities will go a step further or two steps or three steps. Anyway, it is visible at the moment, because the accessibility to the world is so fantastic both in the physical sense where we can move thanks to fantastic air travel, and in the intellectual sense where we can draw on the resources of knowledge scattered around the world.
DIRECTOR OF KATOWICE MUSEUM OF COMPUTER HISTORY, KRZYSZTOF CHWALOWSKI, SAYING:
Polish engineers continued to be not only under a lot of social pressure, but under the influence of their supervisors and employers they had to create something out of nothing and here come unusual anecdotes, (they) even smuggled processors in sandwiches across the western border for the prototypes of Polish computers. There are anecdotes about detentions on the border not only of the equipment, but also of people who were arrested.
MUSEUM VOLUNTEER, MATEUSZ WLODARCZYK, SAYING:
I am trying to find out how they worked, it is fascinating that our phone is three times better than a computer that flew into space. You can now hold (the equivalent of) big computers the size of a whole house in your hand, these old computers are simply fascinating.

Jewish Cemetery in Katowice, Poland 1868 Walking Tour
Jewish cemetery in Katowice (Kozielska 16 street) was built in 1868.
During the World War II, Nazis partially devastated the cemetery.
Nowadays, on the separated with the wall cemetery, on the surface of 1,1 ha, about 1 400 -- 1 500 graves are preserved. There are, among others, splendid graves of three generations of the eminent Jewish families of merit for Katowice development: Goldsteins, Schalsches, Grünfelds, Glasers, Sklareks czy Panofskis and a Jacob Cohn's grave -- the rabbi of Katowice municipality. Some graves are sumptuously decorated. Some of them have the architectonic form which refers to Roman buildings
In 1868, a splendid mortuary was build near the cemetery. There were Chawra Kadisza rooms and a mournig room. The building was thoroughly rebuilded and expanded in 1870.

At the turn of October and November, we made a 3D scan of historic buildings located in the former Katowice mine - currently the Silesian Museum in Katowice. 3D Scanning included the objects: the Gwarek baths (Łaźna Gwarek) with accompanying building - Drills' Workshop (Warsztat Wiertaczy) and Water Tower with accompanying building - Saddler's Workshop (Warsztat rymarza). Basing on the registered point clouds, we prepared architectural and construction inventory documents.

Trip with bicycle from the Auschwitz to Katowice (2019) Poland
CRTO - Interesting Bicycles Route.
We rode bicycles around Krakow. Then we took a regional train and went to Auschwitz to visit the famous historical museum. There were a lot of people and we were not able to get into the museum (to get to the museum you need to come to Auschwitz for a day, and also pre-register on the museum website). On the same day, we went on bicycles to Katowice, where we stayed for the night.

Ewolucja Elektroniki. Z wizytą w Muzeum Komputerów w Katowicach moje wrażenia i przemyślenia.
Podziękowania dla Muzeum Historii Komputerów i Informatyki że mogłem przygotować w tym miejscu swój materiał.
Strona muzeum:
Nie wiedziałem że istnieje taki obiekt, Muzeum Komputerów i Informatyki w Katowicach to niesamowite miejsce, zwiedzając je czułem jak bym cofnął się do swoich dziecięcych
Muzeum Historii Komputerów i Informatyki to jedyny tego typu obiekt w Polsce, muzeum powstało dzięki Pasji, determinacji z pragnienia aby cyfrowe już pokolenia mogły poznać koleje ewolucji elektroniki i komputerów a ludzie, którzy doświadczyli tego rozwoju na własnej skórze, mogli by odbyć sentymentalną podróż.
Jeżeli chcesz przesłać do mnie jakąś elektronikę, którą chciałbyś abym przedstawił filmie możesz wysłać na adres
