The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#75) – 30th December 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – “HP (“the oldie”)”.

The HP2116C “minicomputer”, known as “the oldie” arrived at Técnico in 1971 and revolutionised the way students related to computer programming. It had the size of a minibar and 16 kilobytes of memory. Until that date, computer programming at Técnico was done through punched cards, without direct contact with the machine. The computer would become known as “the oldie” ten years later, with the arrival of new and powerful HP computers.
