“Morris studies the Shockley textbook in his hotel room to learn about electrical engineering, as he doesn't have any teachers.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: Morris's early career choices
For: Aspiring engineers and students in electrical engineering
Key quote: “He goes home, back to the hotel from work, and he studies the best textbook that he can find about electrical engineering, which is entitled Electrons and Holes in Semiconductors with Applications to Transistor Electronics, written just recently, a couple years before, in 1950, by William Shockley.”
The host mentions the book as a crucial resource that Morris used to educate himself in electrical engineering while working at Sylvania's semiconductor division. This highlights Morris's determination to learn and adapt in a new field despite lacking formal education in it.
