I'm considerably older, and I too have no nostalgia for the past, but I certainly have a broader view on many tech topics than my younger colleagues. A couple of days ago I was explaining to a couple how at one time the line printer was the primary output for users, no monitor of any kind. This made separate characters for line feed and carriage return important, in that you could program with them to create better (but still very primitive) graphics. But today is certainly the golden age of software engineering. I'm still excited about many things, and learned about a significant new area of interest to me just a couple weeks ago.
