I ran across this today. Fascinating reading for those that like to read this kind of stuff.
I have marveled at the progress that marked the span of my father’s life. 1903 - 1974. We was born the year the Wright Bros. flew. Cars were introduced. Electricity was wired to homes. His father being a doctor had one of the first telephones in town, a car as well. If people could get to a phone to call him he would be on his way out to the country.
What a change in his lifetime.
An equal change has taken place in my lifetime related to technology related to society as well. I was fascinated with science fiction in the 50’s. Now it is science fact pointing to an even more accelerated rate of change.
The link is a look back at the origins of the Information Age over my lifetime. What a change it has been!
