You bet wrong. Computers were pricey enough that if you want one, you have to really need it to justify the price. It was not forced on any business.


How long ago? I was born after the pedants Millenium so I'm expecting my definition of back in the day is different to yours

I think my time frame is firmly after the invention of excel but before the web was it's own thing


Yep, electronics in general too. People today complain about GPU prices, but that was the norm for everything electronic related.


What are you talking about?? There was lots of resistance to computers at office jobs. Even through the 90s lots of people were still avoiding moving away from the old way and companies had to spend lots of money on training because without that people quickly reverted back to their old ways! I remember that and was taught how to provide such training and how to convince people to adopt new tech! It’s always been a challenge.
