Named by The Root Magazine as one of The Seventeen Black Internet Pioneers, at https://www.theroot.com/17-black-internet-pioneers-1790868134 my name is Mike Holman http://mikeholman.com/I cover some of my BBS work in my new book, "My Life - My Ministry - My Business" at http://tinyurl.com/FollowMeOnAmazonJust this week I had to do a paper for a Pace University class I'm taking on one of the historical events that really had an impact on history. The paper had to be somewhat extensive and I thought "Woe Is Me!". Low and behold after conducting a search, I found a website the zeroed in on the Top Ten Historical Events atBBS HISTORYSeeing how I love Information Technology, my eyes immediately zeroed in on number 9, The Dawning Of The Information Age.This was in my opinion a "loaded" topic as there are so many aspects and I had to think of what could I zero in on. I decided to zero in on flow of digital information exchange as I saw it as well as played a role in the early 1990's. Similar to an article I did recently and posted on my Blog, which reflected on my Andrew Jackson High School years, while working on Wall Street in the 1980's, once again to some what you are about to read may seem unclear in terms of trying to get a picture of what was going on, to others it may seem a little clear and yet to others it will be crystal clear. Here's just a little portion of the paper I came up with...The Information Age brought about computers and the internet.The factual information is that we are able to do more now than we could prior to the dawning of information age. Computers in their current form today were on-existent. The computers that did exist took up the size of a large room. Computer code was written on punch cards and fed into the computers. There is a podcast on iTunes of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that speak of how things were prior to the real evolution of the information age.The computers that did exist that could be used by individuals as noted in the podcas Language: en Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
