I think it’s wild that I’m about the same age as the first home computers, from their humble beginnings of PRESS PLAY ON TAPE to asking people across the world their a/s/l. It’s crazy how fast this technology is moving and how it’s completely changed the world. and I still remember a world where youd write your bowling score on paper, oh, and everyone at the bowling alley was smoking.
I had to explain to a kid at work what a 5" floppy was. He had one in his hand and was like what is this? I told him 5" floppy disk and he said Nah, what does it do? Blew his mind that this used to be the only way to put data in your computer.
It won’t be long until nobody knows what a floppy disk was at all. It’s wild.
I have some classic nintendo cartridge coasters at work. I had a young 20 something come into my office last year, pick one up, and say, “whats this? A cassette tape?”
Like dude. Even guardians of the galaxy should have told you thats not a cassette tape. Plus it fucking says Mario Brothers right on it…

The idea of getting all your business mail once a day at most, and a response isn’t expected from you for days, sounds so peaceful.
