I went to a talk at the Computer History Museum once. It was a rainy day, and I and many people were hanging our coats on a long rack. The guy next to me asked me "doesn't anyone wear hats anymore?" as he looked in vain for a place to put his hat. It was Vint Cerf. I was speechless. How do you tell Vint Cerf that no one dresses like him anymore? He must already know...right?
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoCity people mostly don't wear hats, but country people do, quite a bit. Either cowboy style or baseball style.
- scottlamb 2y agoSure, and in the sun I might wear a baseball cap or floppy hat when hiking, or in the cold a beanie or a skullcap under a bicycle helmet, all with athletic or casual clothes. I believe he had a fedora, trenchcoat, and of course a three-piece suit. Whole other world.
