It’s amazing to think of how quickly things have changed over the last 20 years or so. Wonder what things will be like when my boys are in college? When I was in college, I knew one person who had a computer. I didn’t know what a font was. My parents lived in Germany (my dad was stationed there) and I talked to them once a month on the phone because it was so expensive. I used the card catalog in the library and turned in papers typed on a typewriter. For some people, simpler times = better times. Not me. I love having information at my fingertips. I love feeling so connected to my family even though they live so far away.
Here’s an interesting quote from the video:
It is estimated that a week’s worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century.
