waddup ma t-words also, Clifford Stoll was proto-yospos. If YOSPOS had someone be the first, its him. poo poo, after the cuckoos egg he wrote a whole book (Silicon Snake Oil) basically telling everyone how lovely the internet was and to just go outside. But not like an 'I don't get how this works' thing. He was actually immersed in the internet, the culture at the time in 'cyberspace (just basically The Well)' and all that. There's a whole chapter talking about how 'Colossal Cave Adventure' was a colossal waste of time and that nerds should be spelunking for real. my english teacher made me read that for extra credit cause I finished our assigned book in a weekend (it was enders game, that was a the first 'good' assigned book i'd ever read) and I was all 'the internet is the future' and basically on my way to full internet evangelist. I hated the book at the time and disagreed with it until about halfway through when teenage me was like 'hey, YA! Why am I causing netsplits and looking for banks on datapac all the time when I could be going to parties my friends are throwing and drinking/smoking/skiing/biking'. What I'm saying is thanks Stoll for being a cool proto-yospos poster.

We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? lol

Cliff Stoll is super cool, if you buy one if his Klein bottles he stores them in a crawlspace in his place. He used to just crawl in there to get em out to be mailed but it's rough on his back so he built a radio controlled forklift robot with a camera on it to get them out

Thesoro posted:it's amazing how exactly this guy is 50% completely right and 50% utterly wrong yeah, but even the 50% he got wrong is kind of understandable considering wi-fi hadn't even been invented yet. even aside from the whole "march of technology" thing, it took some fairly non-obvious paradigm shifts to get the things we have today. a full ten years after he'd written that, blackberry dominated the smartphone market and laptops were still clunky, heavy jokes (netbooks weren't even around yet at that point) then two years after that, steve invented the iphone, and then the next year he went and invented the macbook air, and all of a sudden the entire electronics industry was making "useful consumer portable computing" their number one priority. technology isn't really what kicked off the current portables boom so much as it was someone deciding to revolutionize the industry
