RE: Technological Singularity: A Look At The Future

in #technology7 years ago

those were modern, they were called stiffies, we used the old floppies five and a quarter inch. They were dreadful, the dust destroyed them so quickly. I remember trying to load a game with 33 floppies, had to give up as some disks were corrupted with dust. Sadly I don't have them anymore, they took up so much space.

Sort:  

the monitors were monochrome, first green, then a fancy white (which I had), then the amazing 16 colours (VGA?), then the super VGA with 256 colours. I am really old!!

I think there is a benefit to see these tech revolution, imagine using a computer with 10MB HDD to suddenly be alive to see 3TB HDD! That is more interesting than a James Bond movie!

I understand the bulkiness of old computers, it could take up unnecessary space, imagine packing up all these floppies when you could rather sneak in a 1 TB memory card in your jeans small pocket!
