Here's another one. Asking a computer on the other side of the planet what time it is and getting an answer back immediately, in Japanese Standard Time. Whoa. This was on IBM's internal mainframe network when I was a co-op student there back in 1986/7. The world was a lot bigger place then. I still haven't quite gotten used to video calls with relatives on other continents being free and only a couple of finger taps to set up on your handheld device. |
