So many things made possible

Do you ever stop to think about how much computers have evolved our lives in such a short time? When I started college (in '93) we were given specific Chem E email accounts because most students didn't have an email address then. By the time I graduated in '98, most did.

I just read this, and without the 24 hours news and internet, this mother would still be missing. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderso ... .360/blog/

Yea when I started school in 1980 we would write our reports using chunks of rocks on parchment by the time I graduated in 1986 they had invented the pencil.

Man I feel old!

Awe, come on, you're not that old!!! I was in Kindergarten in 1980, and I remember seeing my first computer then. Or maybe that was 2nd grade....
