I was schooled during the beginning of a technology boom (circuits created with VLSI technology were just starting to take hold), witnessed several more (each one heralded as "the last, great boom"), and I will probably pass during another.

The effect these changes have on myself, the people around me, and society never ceases to fascinate.
