From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Buderi is an American journalist, author, and editor. Buderi served as technology editor of BusinessWeek from 1990–1992 and editor-in-chief of MIT's Technology Review from 2002–2004. He was a research fellow at MIT's Center for International Studies from 2005–2007. In 2007, he founded Xconomy, a national business and technology news and media website based in Boston, for which he is CEO and editor-in-chief.

Buderi's first book, The Invention that Changed the World: How a Small Group of Radar Pioneers Won the Second World War and Launched a Technological Revolution was published in 1996 by Simon and Schuster.[1] The book covers the development of radar technology in the United States during World War II and details how this technology determined the outcome of important battles.[2][3] It argues that radar technology changed the course of the war and eventually led to Allied victory.[2][4] It also covers how radar technology led to major innovations in the aftermath of World War II in fields such as electronics, space exploration, nuclear magnetic resonance, lasers, and computer networking.[5][2]
