Read 2021 Technology Trends – IT in Focus to learn how IT professionals are helping today's businesses embrace digital transformation opportunities.
Note from the editor
My fascination with computers hit a fever pitch in the mid-1990s, when a grade school teacher disassembled a 3.5 inch floppy disk and showed us its components.
Every computer in the lab, he said, decodes information from this unimpressive, flimsy plastic disk hidden inside the protective outer case. Up to a whopping 1.44 megabytes could fit in there, a measure of data that's risible by modern standards.
Today, floppy disks are essentially a tech relic. But nostalgia over vintage technology implementations is real. After all, it's hard to measure how far we've come without occasionally looking back.
For our Water Cooler column, we asked IT executives to remember the oldest technology systems they've worked on. Read it here for some IT nostalgia — and a mainframe reference or two.
