There has never been as many books as today. A book still smells like a book. You can still buy beautiful books. In fact, I don't see the difference between the books from my youth and the books now as an adult. But the IT field is certainly very different. However, I don't miss the old modems, the hacks to get my maxtor working, clone CD and emule. I don't miss the floppy, black and white low res monitor, the clunky hardware and the slow or no internet. I like HD. I like thin laptops, WIFI, USB, bittorrent, and a usable linux desktop. I do have nostalgia for how the discovery of the old internet felt, the sense of community, the ethics and dreams. But it doesn't mean the current one is not awesome.
