#itadvances

So was talking about work yesterday and it occurred to me the fact I’m with GT over 13 years and working in IT now for 18 years and I’ve been interested in IT since getting my first pc, a glorious ZX Spectrum+ for Christmas in 1985 with it’s tape deck for installing games, the longest 5 minutes you can have as a kid.

So 32 years in IT and it got me thinking of all the changes I’ve seen in those years and the advancements made within IT in those years, microprocessor, HDD’s, laptops, networking, mobile phones, networking, the internet, gaming, social media and way, way more to mention.

So what tops the lot in IT advancement, for me it has to be the evolution of the Internet, of course this would not be possible without the hardware and infrastructure, but without the idea, think what we’d be missing.

You’d have closed networks, limited IT communication, no internet leading to no social media, no online presence, no online resources, like can you picture IT without it?

So what do you think has been the best IT Advancement in your lifetime, and more importantly, what was the best thing before sliced bread came along?
