The world has changed dramatically over my life. I remember when color television was introduced. When we needed information, we went to the encyclopedia or the library. Our phone number was 424. lol.
I worked in the IT field for 30 years. When I first started, program code was written by hand on coding sheets to be keypunched. We were so excited when we finally got dumb terminals that allowed us to key in code one line at a time. You had to look at a listing for the line of code to change, enter the line number and re-key the entire line for submission. Then, you'd sit and wait for up to 20 minutes for the submission to complete. Crazy.
Now, my phone does more than I ever dreamed possible. I hope I'm around to see what advances happen over the next 30 years!
