Is newer better?

clem57

I have been working with computers before the PC existed starting with the IBM mainframe 360 (CMOS bipolar logic - 1 Megabyte static core). I guess you can say I lived with the dinosaurs (mainframe moniker). The PC has gone from discrete logic using TTL to highly integrated IC's from Intel. But stop for a moment and ask are we really better off? Is our life simpler and more enriched? I came across this Youtube that made me think.

 

 

Now it's time for your comments and discussions!

  • Much as I like to  reminisce about "the good old days" I believe we can do so much more today than we could even dream about 40 years ago and I feel excited to try and think what will be possible in 40 years time although I am unlikely to be around to see it. .

    Is newer better .... absolutely but there's always room for improvement.

    Where the "good old days" really that good? ... well you tell the young ones today and they just don't believe you. image
