Ah yes, that was ‘85.
I remember visiting Telehouse in Docklands about 10 years later, late 1990s, a whole building dedicated to data comms and the internet, and thinking how much had changed.
Thing is, despite that big change in a decade from mid 80s, after nearly another 20 years, nothing more seems to have changed much. We still book holidays using a mouse, just as people did in the 1990s. Schoolkids ( and their teachers, and the BBC) still delude themselves that a mouse can be used for code writing, just as in the 1990s, only difference is it is now called ‘coding’.
Yes, the internet has got faster, screens are flat, and I can now tap on a tablet LCD instead of clicking a mouse reflected on a big old CRT. But that's all a bit cosmetic, did real evolution in Operating systems maybe stop 20-30 years ago?
