      I was never exposed to this tech as a kid but I know way more than these idiots could've ever known. I'm just lucky that I have always had a fascination with older technologies and how they led up to everything we use today. I know how to use a rotary phone, and I know how to play a cassette. The only thing I don't know how to use is how to boot up a program on a computer running BASIC, regardless of whether if it is on a tape or a floppy.

      When I started work, we had to hand make our own forms to fill out. We used 1 piece of paper to do that. Now we print them out in one second and do that 5 or a dozen times to make them better. Now we use 10x the paper with the computer. When I first started working, deforestation was a major concern people had. Now we have the entire world wasting paper on computers and nobody gives a second care about forests. Frankly, I am surprised we still have trees based on how much people was freaking out about it 30 years ago.

    Uh, correction. The floppy disc shown here is not the MS Word save icon. The first floppy discs were 8", then 5.25". The save icon is based on the final iteration of the floppy disc that was actually called the 3.5" floppy diskette, which actually wasn't floppy because it was enclosed in a plastic housing much sturdier than its predecessors. They also came in multiple colors and included custom color coded labels too, a stark contrast from the all black enclosures and plain white pockets used to store or transport the older floppy discs.
    The immediate successor was ZIP discs, which were quickly replaced by digital storage media like CDs, DVDs, then Flash Drives or Thumb Drives. Now, even those are dying out as online (aka, cloud or web) storage is now mainstream with mobile devices able to access the Internet from virtually anywhere.

    I remember that they used to have a mandatory computer typing class in school. They would have you put this cardboard stand over the keyboard so you couldn’t see your hands or the keyboard keys. It forced you to memorize where all the keys were, and how to type using the correct hand positions...I remember hating that class, lol

      @RexTheDinosaur1 5 років тому

      yeah it was the more modern version. The 90s version which was simpler and easier to use it cause the bigger harder to use top loader is to be phased out completely. But then the 2000 versions that combines the DVD and VCR player pretty much phased out the the 90s version. And then the DVD recorders eventually phased out mm version of the VCR. I think the last time that they sold a blank VHS tape was in 2009 or 10. But they only sold them in Dollar General stores.
