Tech Classic

Being in the lower paid end of the IT industry for the last 16 years I have seen technology much come and go. When I first came to the business were I am at now we were on dumby terminals greenish screened CRTs linked through what would be considered by today's standards a very simple network that every time a thunderstorm came around we would be down for around 3 days, and that is if no more thunderstorms showed up. At that time we had "one" actual computer. Just one. No viruses or hacking back then as a major threat. Internet, if any, was dial up via a very loud land line modem. It's kind of funny in the "old days" technology was simple, but everything took forever to process and so much down time. Today, things are complicated, but things take an eighth of the time if that even, and down time is almost non-existent.
