A Piece of History
Does it seem strange that some of the equipment you may have programmed just a couple of years ago would be part of an exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution? We spend so much time focusing on forward-thinking technologies and cutting-edge innovations, that it seems strange that a part of our industry would be in a history exhibit.
But, it's exactly that cutting edge technology that made the VeriFone products become part of the Smithsonian Institution's Permanent Research Collection of Information Technology Innovation at the National Museum of American History.
The VeriFone Credit Authorization Terminal System will be part of more than 2,000 innovative information technologies presented to the Smithsonian. The exhibit is at the Museum of American History in Washington, DC or, if that's a little too far for you, you can view it on-line at http://innovate.si.edu.
If you are thinking as I am (and yes, I know that I am a weird bird), you are probably wondering if, given the revisionist view of Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) that made the sale and placement of VeriFone a reality in today's retail world, an exhibit of the extinct species Independis Salectius Origanous isn't far behind.
