After the war, GSI continued to produce electronics, and in 1951 the company changed its name to Texas Instruments; GSI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new company. An early success story for TI-GSI came in the 1950s when GSI was able (under a Top Secret government contract) to monitor the Soviet Union's underground nuclear weapons testing from outcrop bedrock found in Oklahoma.

Texas Instruments also continued to manufacture equipment for use in the seismic industry, and GSI continued to provide seismic services. After selling (and repurchasing) GSI, TI finally sold the company to Halliburton in 1988, at which point GSI ceased to exist as a separate entity. Halliburton Energy Services ( is a US -based Multinational corporation with operations in more than 70 countries

TI had two interesting problems with engineering and product development after the introduction of the semiconductor and the microprocessor. Firstly, most of the chemicals, machinery and technologies needed to create semiconductors did not exist so TI had to "invent" them. Secondly, the market was small for TI electronic components in the early days so TI had to "invent" uses to create the markets. For example, TI created the first wall mounted, computer controlled, home set-back thermostat in the late '70s but nobody would buy it mostly because of its cost. TI started an Industrial Controls division which built automated process control computers used in the paint and soup industry and was very successful. This business was eventually sold to Siemens AG in 1991. TI turned to military and government uses and had many electro-mechanical devices used in the Apollo rocket and moon lander.

Consumer electronics and computers

TI continued to be active in the consumer electronics market through the 1970s and 1980s. In 1978, Texas Instruments introduced the first single chip speech synthesizer and incorporated it in a product called the Speak & Spell, which was later immortalized in the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The Speak & Spell was an electronic Toy consisting of a speech synthesizer and a keyboard This article is about the 1982 film For the term "ET" which redirects here see ET. Several spinoffs, such as the Speak & Read and Speak & Math, were introduced soon thereafter.

In June 1981, TI entered the home computer market with the TI99/4, a competitor to such entries as the Apple II, Tandy/RadioShack TRS-80 and the later Atari 400/800 series, Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64. A home computer was a class of Personal computer entering the market in 1977 and becoming common during the 1980s The Texas Instruments TI-99/4A was an early Home computer, released in June 1981 originally at a price of USD $525 Tandy Corporation was a family-owned Leather goods company based in Fort Worth Texas, which is best known for purchasing and giving its name to the Fort Worth RadioShack Corporation (formerly Tandy Corporation) (  is a chain of electronics retail stores in the United States, as well as parts of North America TRS-80 was Tandy Corporation 's desktop Microcomputer model line sold through Tandy's Radio Shack stores in the late 1970s and early Atari is a corporate and brand name owned by several entities since its inception in 1972.

Educational technology

Texas Instruments is also notable for its calculator range, the TI-30 being one of the most popular early calculators. The TI-30 is a series of scientific Calculators manufactured by Texas Instruments, the first of which was introduced in 1976. A calculator is device for performing mathematical calculations distinguished from a Computer by having a limited problem solving ability and an interface optimized for interactive TI has also developed a line of graphing calculators, the first being the TI-81, and most popular being the TI-83 Plus (with the TI-84 Plus being an updated equivalent). A graphing calculator (also known as a graphic calculator or graphical calculator) typically refers to a class of handheld Calculators that are capable of The TI-81 is the oldest Graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. The TI-83 series of Graphing calculators is manufactured by Texas Instruments. The TI-84 Plus is a Graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments which was released in early 2004 TI is often seen as the competitor to Hewlett-Packard in this regard, with fierce loyalties often arising.

TI calculator community

In the 1990s, with the advent of TI's graphing calculator series, programming became popular among some students. The TI-8x series of calculators (beginning with the TI-81) came with a built-in BASIC interpreter, through which simple programs could be created. The TI-81 is the oldest Graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. The TI-85 was the first TI calculator to allow assembly programming (via a shell called "ZShell"), and the TI-83 was the first in the series to receive native assembly. The TI-85 is a Graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments based around the Zilog Z80 Microprocessor. The TI-83 series of Graphing calculators is manufactured by Texas Instruments. While the earlier BASIC programs were relatively simple applications or small games, the modern assembly-based programs rival what one might find on a Game Boy or PDA. The is a handheld video game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo.

Around the same time that these programs were first being written, personal web pages were becoming popular (through services such as Angelfire and GeoCities), and programmers began creating websites to host their work, along with tutorials and other calculator-relevant information. Angelfire is an Internet venture offering free space for web sites Yahoo! GeoCities is a Webhosting service founded by David Bohnett and John Rezner in late 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet (BHI This led to the formation of TI calculator webrings, and eventually a few large communities, including the now-defunct TI-Files, and active ticalc.org. A webring in general is a collection of Websites from around the Internet joined together in a circular structure Ticalc. org is now seen as the authoritative source for programming for TI calculators, and at the site, one can find thousands of applications (including games, educational programs, and even simple operating environments), programming tutorials, calculator news, and discussion forums, among other things.

TI graphing calculators generally fall into two distinct groups, those powered by the Zilog Z80 and those running on the Motorola 68000 series. The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit Microprocessor designed and sold by Zilog from July 1976 onwards The Motorola 68000 is a 16/32-bit CISC Microprocessor core designed and marketed by Freescale Semiconductor (formerly Motorola Semiconductor Although a derivative of the Z80 was in the original Game Boy, the 68000 is far more powerful, and therefore better suited for gaming and processor intensive applications. The is a handheld video game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. The 68K calculators, which include the TI-89/Titanium, TI-92/Plus, and Voyage 200, are generally thought of more highly among TI community members than the Z80s. The TI-89 and the TI-89 Titanium are Graphing calculators developed by Texas Instruments. The TI-89 and the TI-89 Titanium are Graphing calculators developed by Texas Instruments. The Texas Instruments TI-92 Calculator, originally released in 1995, was a large calculator with a QWERTY keyboard The Texas Instruments TI-92 Calculator, originally released in 1995, was a large calculator with a QWERTY keyboard The Texas Instruments TI-92 Calculator, originally released in 1995, was a large calculator with a QWERTY keyboard However, the newest of the Z80 series, the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, are becoming very popular with students new to the product line. The TI-83 series of Graphing calculators is manufactured by Texas Instruments. The TI-84 Plus is a Graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments which was released in early 2004

A recent development are the models of the TI-Nspire family, which reached the market in fall 2007. The TI-Nspire product line is a series of Calculators developed by Texas Instruments. These models integrate seamlessly various mathematical software environments and are available as handhelds as well as software.

There is an ongoing debate among financial calculator fans as to whether the popular TI BA II Plus is superior to the iconic Hewlett Packard HP-12C from 1981. The HP-10C series Calculators were introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 1981. The TI BA II Plus continues to maintain popularity due to its simple and intuitive layout compared to the HP 12c (which uses reverse polish notation). The TI BA II Plus is the only calculator permissible in the Chartered Financial Analyst exams besides the HP-12C. Chartered Financial Analyst ( CFA) is an international professional designation offered by the CFA Institute of USA (formerly known as AIMR to Financial
