I think I was about 16 or close to it in 1967, when I heard my first real stereo music through headphones. It totally blew me away. We'd had "stereophonic" records, but only heard them through our stereo console and didn't hear the channel separation.good story. think about the technology that you had when you were 16...
About that time, my parents had bought a TV with the first remote control I'd ever seen. Thought that was the next coolest thing in the world after the stereo. Up until then we'd had to actually get up out off the sofa, walk over to the TV and turn the little knob on the side to one of 6 local broadcast channels available to us in San Francisco.
I'm simply amazed by all of the new things that have come out lately and am about to start drooling over my new Evo I'm getting in about 33 1/2 hours from now.
Good times indeed. I cannot for the life of me imagine what the future holds for us. Charles H.Duell, US Patent Commissioner in 1899 said, "Everything that can be invented has been invented."
If he could only be around today.
Below is a picture of a very early computer. Amazing that the power of this room-sized computer has been far surpassed millions of times over by a device as small as a deck of cards.
