A comment on Bell Labs Holmdel Complex.
My mom took me to a couple in high school and they were GREAT!
You got to hear presentations from researchers, actually try out demos of certain projects etc.
My favorite was a guy demoing voice recognition that went something like:
System: "Please say what call you are trying to make"
Researcher:
"Mary had a little lamb it's fleece was white as snow collect and every where that Mary went the lamb was sure to go"
System:
"You have selected a collect call"
Pretty mind blowing stuff back in the 1996.
