    I really hope people take the time to read this. It’s interesting to hear about history from not that long ago.

    I am no where near old enough to be able to envision the world before personal computing.

    It wild to hear that less than 50 years ago it basically didn’t exist.

    Thinking to 2001 a space odyssey, Star Trek and blade runner, all predated the ability for a common person to interact in anyway with a computer.

    Except for vacations when I was little I live most everyday interacting with computers. Now most of my shopping can’t be done without them.

    It’s just so interesting to hear this telling of the community that was just before computing was available to all.
