Description
Gaseous detectors enter their second century of duty in elementary particle and nuclear physics with undiminished versatility and promise. Although partially eclipsed in the LHC era of high luminosity, new varieties of gas-based systems and TPCs have emerged, and truly new ideas are on the drawing board. In this short talk, I look back briefly to the earliest beginnings to illustrate opportunities overlooked, but mainly emphasize new advances - fully realized or conceptual.
