This work documents the birth of graphene electronics. Its purpose is to provide a contemporaneous historical account of the existent knowledge of graphene in 2001, the fundamental concepts of graphene nano electronics, and the status quo of experiments at that time. It describes the exfoliated graphene field effect transistor, patterned epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide, chemical vapor deposited graphene as well as potential uses of boron nitride.
