| When was the first time you saw/used a computer and what kind of computer was it? |
| 1980 Commodore 64 |
| When was the first time you actually owned a computer and where/how did you get it? |
| Same Commodore 64, I was fortunate enough that my father understood how important computers would be and bought it for me when we moved back to the US. |
| How have computers and technology changed your life? |
| My first experience online was an old BBS, dial up at 300 Baud. I met a Sysop and became a Co-Sysop of the board. This lead to hacking games and dialing various locations around the world. Because of my love of computers, I got a job at AOL, getting away from a dead end cooking job and moving me into my current career path 🙂 |
| What did you not see coming? |
| How fast memory would expand. I remember my first 10 Meg drive and 1 Gig of Ram computer. I always assumed graphics would get better, but not memory.. |
| What do you expect from future technology? |
| VR 100%. I see tech moving away from multiple platforms (Phones, tablets, desktops) to a wearable platform. Ease of use that you have 100% of the time. |
| Tell me of a time when technology screwed up your day? |
| Stolen phone. You don’t realize how much you rely on technology until its gone. Many years ago, during the flip phone era, I had my phone stolen on a trolley in San Fran. Ready to met up with friends in a “Foreign” city, I was at a complete loss… didn’t know their numbers, where I was..ect. |
| Tell me of a time when technology saved the day? |
| To many times to think of one instance!! It’s DAILY 🙂 |
