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 🙂 |
