We had one reader call in and share a great story about the first Walkman he had and how fascinated the stewardess and pilot where with the item when he was on a flight in the 1980s.
I remember in 1999 when I was a senior in high school and my sister was a freshman at Penn State. She wanted me to get an e-mail account so we could keep in touch. She had to explain to me how to pick an address, like my name and some numbers. Then we would e-mail her back and forth and she would tell me to sign onto instant messenger. I had NO idea what that was. She had to walk me through the steps of how to create a name, a password and how to sign on. I just think it's funny because I couldn't imagine college and beyond without e-mail.
Imagine if we each had to work with one of these.....
The first computer
