    Depending on the lightining in the room, I'm quite young! But no, I didn't. In Current Events, though, we were told that by now we'd be in flying bubble cars. Which is guess can be true if you can get your Smart Car going fast enough!

    computers to me used "punch cards" and in college I used typewriters and the library for research, if only I could have used a computer, printer, and the internet for research . . . never envisioned such an advance in technology when those room-sized computers were converted into PCs.

    I think I was likely one of the first grades in elementary to start having "computer time" - it was oregon trail etc. (think ants on a screen as iconography) - All the way to a basic programing class senior year. NO ONE would have guessed all this nonsense ... it's fascinating!

    Not when I was a child. But I made my living with computers since 1982.

    Exactly my memory--it was so primitive, but had to start somewhere I guess.

    Not THAT much more---but major space stations, non-polluting power, base on the moon, etc.
