Question of the Week: What will being born in a "digital age" mean for me?
Yeah, I remember our first family computer. I guess that would have been when I was around 10 years old. It was in our spare bedroom in the basement, because no one ever went down there, and no one really used it. It only had 2 colors: black and orange.
My dad's friend gave him a floppy disk with a list of DOS codes for about 50 games. This meant that if I wanted to play a game, I had to turn on the computer (about a 15 minute process) and then type in a 20 character code at the C:// screen. That would load me up an action packed, thrill-a-minute game, like "Donkey" or "Pipe Dream." (see screen shots below).
It's pretty safe to say that a lot has changed in my life time. Now, 20 years later, I can watch tv (netflix) anywhere on my wife's ipad, and I can check my emails instantly at home. I still don't know if I can say I was born in a digital age....but you can. The question is, how much is this going to change you and how much is it going to change your life? What innovations are you going to use daily in 20 years that will make you look back and shake your head at the pathetic and hilariously inadequate iphone 5 of 2013...
