man its crazy. 15 years ago I would not have imagined that something like smartphones would be such a widespread technology. Matter of fact, if anyone would have told me about such things I would have imagine them to cost thousands, As in 5000 for a smartphone.
Shit is crazy, also, if someone had told me that JS would be a server side language I would have been like waaaaaaaaaat, because with classic ASP we already had it, but most would just use VBScript instead of JScript -
I think it would be particularly interesting to see the reaction from people let‘s say from something like 1900. Maybe a bit later. So that they could understand it in principle but could not comprehend the level of advancement and the effect on society.
Go too far back in time and everyone would just see it as magic or god sent holy artifact. They wouldn’t be able to appreciate it. -
