I always have to be careful when reading about electronic innovations on April 1st.
Back in the 1970s I subscribed to Electronics Magazine and they always had an April Fools article in the April issue.
The one I can still remember was about a new Input/Output data protocol for interfacing tractors with harvesting implements for automated control and data collection that was proposed by John Deere engineer George MacDonald.
He called it the Extended Implement Electronic Input Output Interface, or the EIE I/O.
I recall an article about a revolutionary data iCompresson technique developed by Apple programmers that could store 10 megabytes of data in just one bit that was going to change computing forever. The method required a unique iDecompression key for each bit that was a mere 12 megabytes in size. Apple’s engineers were working on reducing the size of the iDecompression key they thought they’d have any day or decade.
