I think it's interesting how PC technology has changed in the past 30 years. I remember when PC's first were everywhere in the late 80's. They generally worked, but when they went down (like a virus), they were down for a long time and sometimes never came back. This is all subjective, but I feel like the end of the 90's and early 2000's was the low point for PC's and computers in general. Viruses were everywhere it seemed. Things would break all the time. Shit was never compatible. You had to have detailed knowledge of how software worked in order to fix it. I remember the day I was trying to fix my PC when I finally looked some of the more under the hood files and programs, and was blow away at the complexity. It was very humbling. Then, somewhere in the late 2000's, something changed and I feel like computers have been working better. I don't have to fix my computer nearly as much. It just sort of works. Sure, there are issues, but the frequency and intensity are much less (knock on wood).
