\________/\________/\___/____/
1. When did you first get interested
in technology?
as a kid I was nerdy, I liked space ships and aliens and the Transformers.
other boys liked sports and firefighters and soldiers. but I wasn't unusual,
that's just stuff kids like. when I was about six or seven the high school my
aunt was attending had an open day and part of the activities was a
demonstration of computer communication from the computer club. this is before
the Internet, and before BBS really took off, it was just nerds showing off
their network, including realtime chat. I point to that exact moment, that was
when the bug bit me and I knew computers, networks, communications and
technology were what I wanted to do.
2. Whats your favorite piece of technology of all time?
the telephone. it's fun, it's intimate, it's tactile, it's intentional,
it's simple. I love a telephone.
3. What's your favorite piece of technology right now?
right now I'm really interested in upcycled and repurposed laptops.
4. Name one cool piece of technology we'll have in 25 years
personal robotics is about to go really mental, mark my words. in 25 years
robots will be as normal as cars.
the meme demands a tag and I will oblige, I'd like to hear from dokuja[2],
bstuf[3] and tomasino[4].
