I'm not sure what makes me sadder: the fact that people don't just automatically know this, or the fact that I'm so old that I do.
It's probably the latter. Everyday it seems something that I've just always known enters the realm of obscure and arcane. Soon I'll be having a hard time keeping up with the new. Oh well.
- teilo 16y agoI know exactly how you feel. My reaction was, "Isn't that obvious?" I remember when the term hypertext was all the rage, and when it was by no means certain that the Internet was the fabled "information superhighway" where all the data in the world would be cross-linked. I was born in '73, so I imagine I am right on the cusp of those who would have had personal knowledge of this, and those who would be too young to have cared at the time.
