April 1st @ Electronic Design

Check out our collection of annual April 1st issues for those looking for a bit of technical humor

Welcome to our annual April 1st issue, where we try to bring some amusement and humor to an otherwise turbulent and wacky world. You can download all the stories in our April 1st Ebooks (below) or check out the links below and take our poll (below) to let us know which you like best.

Traditionally, April 1st has been a time to celebrate with jokes, spoofs, and other tricks. Taking time to laugh can be difficult with all the other problems both personal and global, but hopefully it makes dealing with these a little easier or at least improves your outlook on life. 

This year we collected a number of new stories from editors and readers. They touch on familiar topics like quantum computing and IoT along with analog and power topics in a twisted fashion. We hope they will not confuse new readers too much, as our regular fare is designed to inform and educate readers about real technology rather than our whimsical machinations. 

You can check out our April 1st offerings in a couple of ways. The slideshow (above) provides a quick overview of each article listed below. We also have an eBook you can download that let's you keep a copy for posterity. We hope you have fun with these and share them with your friends.
