I remember as a kid that when we reached the year 2000, which w’as a big deal to the people born in the early 1970’s. I thought we would have hover cars or flying cars like the movie “Back to the Future”. I grew up with just using a DOS command line to run all my programs or on a VIC 20 (precursor to the PC) which had a tape drive (yeah like the old cassette tapes). Then we built our own PC which didn’t have windows it had DOS, which stands for Disk Operating System. No you didn’t need to boot with a disk every time you turned the PC on but it was mostly loaded or handled by 5 and a quarter inch floppy disk. The 3 and a half inch didn’t come out till later. We only had monochrome monitors back then some were green and other colors but color monitors didn’t come out till later as well. I then remember watching the movie The Matrix and got people thinking is the everyday life we live false like we are in some sort of program and that we could be awaken to the “real world” which was horrible. The computers have significantly changed how we do our daily lives this also happened with the wide spread of cell phones. Imagine as a kid never ever having a cell phone my parents never had one as well. I don’t remember any member of my family or extended family having a cellular device until way later then my first cellular device as cell phones were to expensive was a pager yes a pager. So I could keep in touch with all my friends and family. Wasn’t until my late 20’s to early 30’s that cell phones become more readily available to the regular consumer and if you had them before than you were rich as they were very expensive not like the plans we have now in days. So you can imagine how everything has vastly change since I was growing up and somethings have just not yet caught up to us as a whole. Growing up and watching Star Wars the movie and believing we would have interstellar space travel when you get older yeah all the hopes and dreams that you have when you are a kid.
