Thurs May 16 6:30pm
Topic: The History of Computing from 1980 to 1990.
Presenter Scott Granneman is going to break it down into decades.
So, why talk about all that old stuff? "To understand 'how we got
here.'"
is how all historians will point out that you want to know the history.
What were the problems that we were trying to solve? We are living with
the solutions...and the new problems caused by those solutions, ...so we
should understand what was being attempted.
Back in January, Ed Howland told us about the "History of The Unix Shell".
And, we learned the above usefulness of history. And in March, Scott
started this series with "The History of Computing since 1968".
So, Scott will give us the decade by decade description of the
important events & inventions in computing. And we'll understand what
they have influenced in your problems today.
Back in the '80s, the push was to stop using those mainframe computers
"in the CLOUD". Your data and your computing "should be" moved onto
your
own physical desktop on that new, powerful DESKTOP computer! Things have
changed....or reverted?
Scott is a long time member and frequent presenter of SLUUG. He is the
author of "The Linux Phrase Book" from O'Rieley Press.
