History of IT

For the last few days I have been watching old episodes of ‘The Computer Chronicles’. Its amazing the computer advancements in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The technology for the hardware, such as monochrome to color screens, battery life, size, etc., were making huge jumps every year. It was an amazing time for computers.

Then came the Internet and Windows 95! It is fascinating the ‘new’ things they were talking about at the time… Drag and drop, ‘My Computer’, ftp, html…. Things that we take for granted now, but at the time they were new concepts that nobody knew about.

I don’t always appreciate how far technology has come in the last 30 years, but its actually been pretty fantastic!
