Technology... How Does It Work?

By Nesheaholic @nesheaholic

I'm sitting here in the airport after hours of conference sessions that talked about social media and mobile device usage. I'm sitting at my gate at a chair that has a pillar featuring USB and power ports to charge devices, because Delta clearly realizes this is now a common necessity. I'm watching planes take off. Planes in which passengers have wifi and can work... Or tweet or Facebook... from thousands of feet in the air.
Technology is amazing. I couldn't have imagined, when I was five years old in my it's computer class my grandmother put me in, that a day like this would come.
I distinctively remember learning how to use a mouse, and just being completely blown away by my ability to move things on the screen with this contraption called a "mouse." That was only 22 years ago. That is not that long at all! Technology advancement is moving at an alarming pace.
What are some of your distinctive tech memories?
