This slow walk has been taking place since before the 80s. I was once a computer operator, and we had to wire the boards for each task. Data input was done through keypunched cards run through a collator, then through the system, which took up an entire floor and it felt like the middle of winter 24/7.
I, more than once, crashed to the ground the moment I walked out the door of the building and got hit with the warm air, and this was up North.
Online communication could take days as packets delivered through your telephone system, and a modem. My first modem was a 300 baud modem, and I thought I was Jane Jetson when I got my 2400 baud unit.
Even back then we saw the changes coming, "fast". I will admit, I thought they were good, and I championed them, gleefully. I worked for the federal government. I should have known better. The old adage is so very right, "Be careful what you wish for."
