Whatever Happened To The Electronics Hobbyist?
Electronics used to be one of the greatest hobbies ever. There were literally hundreds of thousands of people who used to play around with electronics as an avocation or part-time interest and activity. Kids learned electricity and electronics in school. As a result, when they ended up getting the bug, they ended up not only adopting electronics as a hobby, but also made it into a career. You don't see too much of that going on anymore. So what the devil happened to the electronic hobbyist?  — Louis E. Frenzel

Analog Computers
I have sometimes wondered if we shouldn't bring back a modern version of an analog computer. Does that make sense? Maybe it could be a solution to some ugly calculus-intensive problem like in a research situation. A special analog computer could be built to simulate the equations quickly and with the ability to play around with the various variables and so on. It would certainly be smaller, cheaper and more precise than the monsters of yesteryear.  — Louis E. Frenzel
