I'm trying to figure out what this means, it seems extracted from some electoral campaign. Can someone help? That hurts - can you at least tell me it seems extracted from an electoral campaign from a previous century to soften the blow? But what I was trying to get it is this - we either see the past and think "Gee weren't those people dumb with their 8 bit machines and in-door smoking", or we romanticize the past as some kind of "back when the world was simpler, no cellphones in sight just living in the moment" tripe. It's better to be nuanced. Treat them as if they were just human beings like you or I - which they were. Look at some 60s, 70s or 80s computing idea and say say "that was a dead end and not relevant anymore", or "wow I really like how they were thinking about things, maybe that's worth re-visiting".
