Hari ni tak kerja, pepagi dah ke rumah Umie ambil Izzatul yang tido d sana semalam. Kemudian kami sekeluarga ke Jusco AU2... saja – saja window shopping dan bawa Izzatul sarapan.

Ustaz Farhan call Tanya jika ada LCD projector utk ceramah beliau esok di Surau Flat UTM. Call Habib, dia kata LCD ada di MTD

Bercerita ttg LCD projector ni, meh kita selusuri sejarah terciptanya LCD ni:

The LCD projector was invented by New York inventor Gene Dolgoff. He began working on it in college in 1968 as a way to produce a video projector that would be brighter than the then-available 3-CRT projectors. The idea was to use an element referred to as a "light valve" to regulate the amount of light that passes through it. This would allow the use of a very powerful external light source. After trying many different materials, he settled on liquid crystals to modulate the light in 1971. It took him until 1984 to get an addressable liquid crystal display (LCD), which is when he built the world's first LCD projector.

Lepas makan, otw balik ke rumah singgah di MTD, ambil LCD projector & screen

Ke rumah Mizan, coz mizan minta check kan riser floor rmh dia, dia nak masuk telefon. Selesai buat ujian balik ke rumah – hujan lebat

Bercerita tentang telefon pula, mari kita menjengok tentang sejarah terciptanya telefon oleh Alexander Graham Bell:

Alexander G Bell lahir di Edinburgh, Scotland pada 3 March 1847. anak kepada seorang prof bernama Alexander Melville Bell ini kemudannya berhijrah bersama keluarga beliau ke Canada bagi mengelak dari jangkitan TB yang begitu meluas di Scotland.

Semasa di rumah keluarganya di Brantford, Ontario, beliau mula mencipta alatan yang boleh menghasilkan bunyi yang lebih baik, antaranya ialah telefon.

Nama telefon ini direka melalui dua patah perkataan Greek iaitu tele bermaksud jauh dan phone bermaksud bunyi.

Akhirnya setelah merasakan dia telah berjaya mencipta alat telefon yang sempurna, Alexander Graham Bell mempatentkan ciptaannya di US Patent Office pada 14 Feb 1876 dengan no patent 174,465 dan diluluskan pada 3 March 1876. Ia dikatakan kelulusan patent termahal yang pernah diluluskan.)

Trivia
climbers can thank WWII for the technology that led to nylon, but they'd be suprised to learn that the first commercial use of nylon wasn't for rope. It was for the toothbrush!
