Would you Go Back To Pre-computers?
Would you go back to the time to when we did not have computers? I was asked this a few weeks ago and it piqued my interest. I think it’s a great question that deserves some thought. As time goes on, there are fewer of us who remember those days. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s when computers were a rare and expensive commodity. Computers were found in the corporate domain and not in every house as it is today. In fact the closest you would get to a computer at home back then was probably an Atari games console. Now they are everywhere and are involved in all aspects of our lives. I think we are in a golden age of discovery, and computer technology is helping us all to move forward faster.
Can you imagine living today without the internet? Without a computer? Computer games were once only found in arcades. Now they are in most households. Can you imagine not being able to access information via your phone? How about no access to web sites like YouTube for information and entertainment? Would life be better or worse? Are we really living a better life because of the computer? So, if you have a few minutes, please read on while I cast an eye and compare modern living with how we lived before IT and the internet came into our lives.
