Some think I started working in the computer industry when dinosaurs roamed the earth and on many days it seems like that to me too. However, I bring a perspective of seeing the most rapidly changing industry evolve, change and mutate. It has been hard, stressful but mostly fun and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
So I am going to blog. With history, insight and the grace of experience to say what I want to.
I came on the scene when computers built with transistors were in use. They occupied a vast amount of space, used a lot of electricity and needed constant air conditioning. Today, I probably have close to the processing power of one of those in my pocket as part of my cell phone.
How did we get here? Fundamentally basic research, much of it funded by the U.S. government is at the heart of progress. Where will we go next, only time and innovation will tell.
