As It Will Be

[Jeff Barr]

You know, in 10 years a CRT will be a total anachronism and
you will have to explain to your grandkids that you, too, once
owned one.

TTYs, well, let's just say that I once owned the 5-bit kind.

Today I explained the mysteries of an "8-Track" tape (the audio
kind) to my 12 year old. As we talked it turns out that he
thought that "LP discs" could handle video. I had to let
him down.
