1758 Willam Shockley - The Eugenicist

William Shockley often known as the inventor of Transistor and the chief engineer at Bell's Laboratory section responsible for the creation of modern computers and companies like Intel was a Eugenicist who was in favor of voluntary sterilization of those he deemed unfit. The Bell's Lab or the research arm of AT&T had a song named Hell's Bells Laboratory which its members famously sang. Here is an excerpt of the song: "It's the Hell's bells and buckets of blood at the Hell's Bells Laboratory We preserve all our lifetimes by using manure at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. Publication of papers will help your career, Promotions assured if you write twenty a year, They are used in the washroom of the chief engineer at the Hell's Bells Laboratory. The economy squeezes pinch more every day, Coffee and tea breaks have been taken away, They are hoping to make the transistor pay at the Hell's Bells Laboratory." Without Bell labs there would be no compact computers, phones, AI or the majority of modern technologies.
