I think it was really interesting to see how much computers have evolved in the short amount of time that they have existed. I can’t even imagine using punch cards…It seems so wasteful. And learning code would be impossible for me. I am really grateful to have been born after all of this progression so that I can basically just enjoy the easy parts of computers that cater to non-tech savvy people like me. This lesson reminded me again just how much Bell Labs has changed technology and society as well with their inventions.

I don’t even want to think of the inventions that will exist when I am old. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with it all.
