I've used a lot of terminals...
IBM 2741s and 3270s, KSR33, VT52, VT1xx, VT2xx... and then we had the merciful release of the GUI. No-one at that point would have imagined that programmers in 30 years time would be spending their time more perfectly reproducing the experience of the 1980s.
Or, indeed, that vinyl records would be on the shelves of cloth-eared and cognitively dissonant youngsters supposedly concerned about plastic pollution.
What happened to progress?
