I graduated college in 1995 and thought I was “on the cusp of tech” being one of very few who had his own computer (a mac, used primarily for word processing), an email account and a website, #24,893 in the whole world.

If you read “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” it basically predicted the iPad and a host of other future-minded concepts we now take utterly for granted. What an exciting time to be alive!
