Back in the early years of mass-computerism you had to be a
hobbyist/experimenter with good soldering skills to make computers do
what you wanted them to do. Today they do it without your input and/or
knowledge. Is that not scary? Were there prognosticators who predicted
what would be now, 35-40 yrs. on? Vintage/classic computing were the
safer years, maybe not as exciting! Maybe part of the answer is not to
be connected but we would lose out on participating in this forum and
so much more.
