121 Myths Vol. 1

June 17, 2022
Here are 121 technology myths you might or might not know about.

The 11 Myths series has been one of our most popular in terms of article style. It was actually started to get engineers to write an article for us since many go into panic mode if you ask for a 1,000-word article, but they will rattle off a dozen items that their customers are unsure of without thinking twice. Writing a paragraph or two is easier since they talk about these issues all the time. Besides, once they have 11 and write up the responses, they are done. 

You have probably seen some of these articles on the site, but our content seems to get pushed down and lost these days regardless of what it is or what site it is on. So here's a quick list of a few choice 11 Myths articles. Since this is the first volume, I randomly selected them. Future volumes may target specific areas like PCBs, IoT, or robotics. 

So do you know the answer to these 121 myths?

P.S.

Ever wonder why we have 11 myths instead of some other arbitrary number. Well, I decided I wanted a prime number and it takes a little thought to come up with exactly 11 myths. It turns out that it's easy to come up with more than 11, but paring it down can be fun.
