I was listening to 'Computer World' by Kraftwerk this afternoon - on Facebook - and was surprised that the computers in the video were from 1981. (when the song was made) It made me a bit sentimental about the 'Good old days' of Technology; before the Internet ruined everything.
I fear what will happen whenever computers become a thing of the past. The phone is just too handy; and has crack-like addiction. (I'll hold my hand up, and say that I have two Huaweis) But I feel Luddite at times. One book about coding was called 'Program, or be Programmed.' Yikes!
This feeling will pass!
I'd quite like the second half of the 17 Century, please.
I think I can handle the printing press existing. Stuff has gone downhill since everything had to go through computers for me.
If I can't go right back to the 17 Century, I wouldn't mind heading back to the 1990s at least.
