Changes In My Lifetime - Computers

 THE WORLD WIDE WEB
1993

World Wide Web: Definition, history and facts | Live Science

Personal computers were unheard of until the 1980s. I was lucky enough to be teaching at that time and part of our in-service training was to learn the computer. Though it seemed insurmountable and confusing at the time, I am blessed to have learned what I did back then, in order to feel somewhat comfortable using today’s technology. The World Wide Web was not used until the 1990s, and once again, I was able to learn alongside my students, sometimes with their help.  They prided themselves of being able to teach the teacher. We were still using card catalogues when I retired from teaching in 2007, yet with the world wide web, we were fighting against students copying and pasting reports. I always felt that it was valuable for students to know how to access information in books. That process may now be a thing of the past.
