Super anecdote and not much to do with the article if you'll indulge me. I have a weird fond memory with my dad when I was in middle school in 1998 or so and we went to the computer parts store, as we always did on Sundays, to browse. They had their technology which seemed to be totally revolutionary. I couldn't believe it held so much more than a regular floppy. I learned all about it, and when I was 16 got a part time summer job at a local ISP because of what I learned and the interest I developed. To this day I remain in software!
