One of the most exciting days I had at work was the day I came into the office, sat down at my desk, logged into my PC…and there in glorious detail were all my emails, voice mails (with pictures of the senders and text describing content), instant messages and all my social media feeds.
All my communications in one place, and easy to manage. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. That was back in 1989 (I was only joking about the social media, which obviously didn’t exist back then). I was co-running a telephony lab for IBM and, sadly, a few months later transferred to another IBM site. They took away my PC and gave me a color terminal, and I was back to the dark ages – they were literally dark, because my new, larger office had no window and I felt like I was in prison.
