Walking around the office today, it’s been a quite normal day… I made a few copies, zoomed through my collection of blackberry emails and phone calls, and even did some real work on my laptop.
I mean my Vaio.
I mean my PC, wait, make that Personal Computer.
Here we are 25 years after the advent of the personal computer, first brought to us by IBM. Today, there’s really no such thing as a personal computer - EVERYTHING is a personal computer, right down to your ipod, TIVO, XBox, Playstations, satellite radio, thermostat, and your car. We have ThinkPads, iMacs, Mac Minis, PowerBooks, Palm Pilots, and OnStar auto navigation We have Windows, WindowsME, Leopard, Linux, Unix, Apache, iTunes, and Opera (thank god for a little culture around here)
One could make a strong argument that all these personal computers have made life better and made us more productive as a society.
But that sure is a lot of stuff - is this a good thing?
Absolutely - quit being a grump and enjoy your personal computer gadgets. Show a little love.
Gotta get back to playing Asteroids…
