As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

@danielle given network software never works right, "connection refused" and "no route to host" errors must predate this. We should celebrate them too: the birth of the TCP/IP support call
Seems like a long time ago.
That was the month I started university.
At the end of the year, I took a 1 week summer course in FORTRAN and wrote my first lines of code.
But then, I took a 10 year break before forgiving the machine for its rude error messages and starting a computing career.
"Student Eric Lawton does not exist", indeed!
