RE: Chapter 1. Predicting the Future [#Maynia]

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

In 1974 I was a freshman in college and I took a programming class. We used fortran to write super simple programs. I had to punch each tiny bit into a card, then turn the stack of cards into someone who would feed them to this massive computer, that took up an entire room. I then had to wait for it to process, sometimes up to a week, to find out if my program to add 2 plus 3 worked. What we have today was unimaginable to me back then.

Your stories are not coming up in a search for the tag #maynia, I don't know why. Now I wonder how many others I have been missing. Have you thought about posting them through @freewriters? Those seem to be earning nice rewards.

Anyway, nice to have you back for may madness maynia manic writers of Hive.

That's actually a pretty cool story, thanks for sharing that!
It is amazing how quick it changed. In 1996 I was complaining to my Mom when she tried to call someone and it disconnected the dail up. But waiting for the result of an equation. Just can't imagine that.

What makes the first 3 chapter extra hard is that it is about a time period, during which I wasn't born or very little, so I have to do a little more research.

I have to check the Maynia issue. Tbh a lack of focus on distributing my content, which I should know is not a good thing.
