History of Innovation
During TI's 75th anniversary year, we have tried to capture the amazing stories of Texas Instruments in many ways, including the TI history book. We know there are still untold stories out there, and this page has been created to help us share these stories with you.
   THE TI STORY CONTINUES! HELP WRITE TI'S HISTORY.  

The stories listed below have been sent in by a variety of people—active TIers, retired TIers and others.

Take a look at some of these stories and perhaps you'll remember a good one you'd like to send in as well. You can do that by "Submitting a Story".

We just completed a comprehensive look at TI's history—which we compiled into a great book entitled: "Engineering Our World: Stories from the First 75 years of Texas Instruments." The book can be purchased online at sites such as Amazon.com. If you are a retiree, the book will be offered as a membership incentive in the TI Alumni Association in early 2006. Check the TIAA website for details at that time.
