When I was graduating from OSU (late 1970’s) a few terms cought my attention.

I thought personal computers should be called “home” computers. I was wrong. And it should be obvious my vision was too short, thinking of my clunky desktop (which I built BEFORE Apple “invented” the Apple 2. I was there when it was first shown.)
I had a teacher who kept telling us we were entering the “Information Age”. The term seemed pretentious. It was spot-on.
Today, we generate as much information in two days as we did in the history of man before computers.
In College, I strung wires across campus so that researchers could communicate with librarians could do country-wide searches for similar topics for doctoral theses.
There was no Internet, only Darpanet, which mostly used dial-up modems for searches. If you had a 1200 baud (bit/second) modem you were king.
I did my first e-mail (from my home on a home-made computer and modem) in late 1977 on a system cobbled together on the University computer using a “tie-line” to a Portland phone number 90 miles away. In those days, there was nobody to communicate with.
I don’t think many people have pondered how much change has come about because of Google and similar search engines.
