Hey, fediverse (and bsd.network!)
I want to hear about your formative tech years!
What did you love in years past? What made you think "if we have something like *this* today, the future is certain to be amazing?"
I embraced the TRS-80 from Radio Shack as a young teacher. I hoped that, over time, ALL my colleagues would join in seeing it as a great tool for student learning. Instead, the few who grasped onto it generally used it for PowerPoint.
I still have hope, however.
@Algot Those were such neat machines. :D I love how ridiculously popular they became... the public *wanted* computers in our lives, probably for all kinds of different reasons, but the hunger was there!
