By the way, I miss the floppy and its shiny successor, the CD-ROM. Nobody even says ROM anymore. Most kids today probably don’t even know what an A: drive is. How fast is your CPU? How big is your hard drive? What do you mean you don’t have a hard drive? The computer I got my wife last year has a 20GB solid state drive in it. Yes, only 20. Why? Because dropbox, googledrive, box.com, etc. make local storage irrelevant. Thumb drives? Who needs ‘em?

One of these days a big solar flare is going to fry a few of our satellites and we’ll all be standing around with our dicks in our hands wondering how to boil water.

There is a book covering how tech was developed and how to recover it.
