Thanks Brian for giving us perspective from back then. Now we have come a far way from back then, documentations are just a google search away, OSS just a github search, an awesome shared knowledge-base is at stack-overflow, to name a few. This is awesome time.

At the same time I see a lot of people have become complacent with abundance of these resources, which a cause of concern.

I was a student when CDs and Floppies were still in circulation, we would get programmes and games on CDs and use floppies for data needs. I was confused when I saw a thumb-drive for first time, how can it be so small and still have a huge data capacity compared the 3 1/2 " floppy.
