Speak Easy uncovers the remarkable breakthroughs that shaped how we connect today.
Every text, call, and video stream is built on a history of bold ideas and groundbreaking discoveries, many of which seemed impossible at the time. Signals sent through the air, voices carried across oceans, cables hidden beneath the sea; each step brought us closer to the powerful technology we now take for granted. With interactive displays, hands-on codebreaking experiences, and exciting stories of innovation, Speak Easy invites you to uncover the secrets of the past and see your devices in a whole new light.
