Can't believe I am learning this in 2017.

Wait let me guess🤔 Are you by any chance from India? Cause they've got the most outdated syllabus EVER.

@Aaronz Yes, Man. TOTALLY SUCKS.

@kanishk Thought so. So have you taken up computer science engineering?

@Aaronz Information Technology.

What a time to be alive!

Before you know it, we’ll have telephones without cords.

@kanishk which college and where? I just completed my engineering in CS 😅

For a sec I thought this was from my country until I read the comments. This was high school physics for me 😂

Well Ciscos netacad still says that you should upgrade to Vista when xp doesn't work well xd

How they work is pretty cool, actually.

It's never bad to learn old tech. It shows you how many advances we've really made. The technology itself is actually pretty cool.

Also, the text does state "common technology for TRADITIONAL monitors". Traditional typically refers to the past. Doesn't say anything about modern.

Thats a Techmax ain't it?

What's next? Are you going to learn ADA?

That's a techmax!

@Ikun @randomnumber also the saviour before exam - as kamlesh states - easy soluchan 😂😂

Sorry, most of you will kill me...
But in MY opinion, this has nothing to do with old technology. I'm totally against learning old things nobody uses. But we discussed this when we talked about magnetic/electric fields and the teacher wanted to show us an application that uses this technology.

@kanishk BSc I.T? I remember studying this last year. 😂😂

CART is still used in some places though. Plus LCD or OLED is too complicated for most people. Not to mention the last time they updated the syllabus CRT were still commonplace.

I'm from India too... I remember that teckmax diagram.

Btw I don't think it's wrong to learn how a CRT television works even in 2100. It's still a very important tool in the pocket of a engineer. Remember engineering is not just related to computer engineering and programming.

A CRT television is basically an electron gun with really good precision. Just look at some YouTube videos with search term "electron gun cloud chamber". You don't know how awesome something is till you see it.

Man we are on the same page 😂😂😂

I've seen that as well. But in elektricity, as an example of the effects of magnetic fields on electrons

@sam9669 easy solution and kt280. That's how you get 80 in web development/engineering without knowing what new fangled advanced technology this "HTML" is.

@Ikun more like electronics and telecommunication engg here, with some exp in assembly, CRT is still new to what i'm learning

I learned about CRT in physics not long ago, but that's because even if it is outdated it's interesting stuff.
