TM InfoAge

Ever visit a museum or science center to find an object with a little 3x5 card telling what it is?  Where is the information about that thing?  How it changed society?  How did people use it?  Who made it and how did they develop the technology to make it?  Etc. etc. Now, what if you are a person in the 5th grade, or a high school senior, or an adult, or an expert, how can the 3x5 card serve appropriate information to you?  What if you would like to know more... now!

What if you would like to contibute your expertise, experience, and knowledge to a museum or science center?  Here at InfoAge we invite you to become an e-Volunteer

An e-volunteer is a person who via email or postal mail sends InfoAge photos, web pages, documents, even videos about information age technologies.  The science and math behind man's use of electrons, waves, and photons.  Email us your experience working with early computers, telephone systems, radio, radar, early operating systems etc.  We will make this information available in the familiar web browser format for easy navigation and location on our intranet 'infoStations' to be placed around our hands-on exhibits, as we develop this center.  Some web pages will be made available on our public web site, as limited by server space.  This will provide persons interested in your experience more information, when they are interested, and will also act as a repository of e-histories.  Today's memories are 'history' if they are not recorded in some format, why not an electronic one?

We ask your written or email permission to use your information for science and history education and you reference any resources beyond your personal experience and knowledge.

We reserve the right to not use any materials inappropriate to our mission and educational goals.

Are you a Signal Corps Veteran?  Tell us your story.  No one knows better than the veteran how devices and advances developed by the Signal Corps helped American and Allied forces electronicly out-wit the enemy. Tell us how and what devices made a difference to your tour of duty. Ft. Monmouth's Command Historian Dr. Richard Bingham is conducting interviews of people knowledgable of Camp Evan and radar history. Contact him at 732 532-1675 if you have a desire to the share history you were part of.  Were you an employee of one of the companies whose products shaped the Information Age?  Tell us your story.  If you worked for American Marconi, AT&T, Bell Labs, RCA, Western Electric etc etc. Tell us how and what devices your company made and how they made a difference.  Are you an expert in an information age technology?  Share your expertise for the benefit of others. There are alot of topics we would like to explore and explore them in depth. The Science and Technology of Information, Transmission, Storage, and Processing. Add to this the people, history and the changes to society  Are you a part of a corporation improving information age technology?  Can you make available to our center demo units that show a fundamental area of basic or applied science? Can you make available today's obsolete product that the center can use today and if appropiate maintain as an example of an important improvement in technology.  Do you see the value this center can bring as a link between industry and the military to New Jersey science education?  Industry and the military develop thousands of potentially useful test units, demo units and protypes that can be used to show students how devices work and the science behind them. Our center can use these if you make them available to us. "I wish I had what you have here at Evans when I began developing Fort Discovery" Major General William Hilsman, creator of the National Science Center, commented as he toured Camp Evans the future home of InfoAge. Are you able to donate money to help develop this center?  As we develop our detailed plans we are depending upon professional organizations for our basic startup funding. AFCEA, AOC, and our members are providing funds to give us our basic start. We will be needing funds for program development, building renovations and professional staff.  If you see the potential of this center and the valuable mission it will serve in historic preservation and science education and wish to help with funds, please contact us via email or write us at: Infoage Learning Center 2201 Marconi Road Wall, New Jersey 07719-3919 Thanks, we need your help!
