This is when we had keypunch operators, verifiers, and had to hand wire the boards.
We have come a long way. But once personal computers came on the scene, I saw it coming, where we are now, and where we are headed.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination, to see the path of how we got here, and where that path leads.
My problem is...I can't see where that path leads.
I used to think I could, but now I can't. I used to have a pretty good sense of what the future would hold, but now that vision is just nothing-ness, like some kind of a black hole.
I don't know, maybe that's where it leads, but I hope not. Not because I'm worried about me, I'm old, but there's a whole lot of younger people out there who don't seem to even be thinking about it at all let alone giving a hoot about it. The handwriting is on the wall, but I guess they're not seein' it.
