Mindless night and just finished watching Wargames. This reminded me of the start of all of this. The days when you have green displays, games did not even have graphics, but strictly text. You spend more time learning the exact wording to us in the game then the storyline itself. Pre-floppy discs, intering code via punch cards, the weekends in padded rooms if you spilled a box.
In such a short time things have come so far, my first real computer was a osborne portable ( haha the size of a suitcase and the weight of a VW bug) but it was one hell of a machine for the time. Now a cell phone has more processing power and abilities. This makes me wonder, some of us have been into this stuff since those good old days, but it makes me wonder if we have achieved this much is such a short time, where will this industry and community be in another 20+ yrs.
Where do you think the computer industry and communities will be in 20+ years?
my hope, within 10 yrs to be able to plug our minds directly into the net.
