We internet pioneers smile at the poor internet citizens of today who were born with Wi Fi. How could they imagine life with only dial phones, pagers, mimeographs and white out?
I read years ago about an accountant who bought a DOS accounting program. One day he got frustrated because it was taking 30 seconds to sort a file needed to generate a report. He had to laugh at himself when he realized it used to take half a day to get that information in order and here he was complaining about less than a minute.
No matter how much capacity the hardware provides, the coders will use it all up. VMS mainframe operating system was less than 5 MB. Now, a less capable one (except for media and graphics) is 3 orders of magnitude larger. Microsoft takes 1 line of XML and makes it into a 30 KB file. Software bloat is amazing.

Whoever said “bad news travels fast” never had dial-up.

Deadly accurate!
We have these amazing things people could only dream of just 40 years ago, and we whine and moan about the tiniest inconvenience with them.

I do not want anyone telling me my future and I do not want anyone ruining the ending of any book that I am reading for the same reason.

We can have all the information we want, as long as we don’t want anything specific.
