A brief history to how we use computers
The Booms and Busts of Silicon Tech has had a dynamic cycle of innovation. In the 1980s, we saw the boom of the personal computer (think Microsoft 📎1 and Apple 🍎), whereas the 90s and 00s saw the rise and fall of internet companies (from Amazon 📦 and Google 🔎 to Pets.com 🐶). Since it’s harder to categorize the past decade so soon, I’ll offer my personal take – I think the 2010s proved the surge of cloud computing ☁️ and harnessed the power of economies at scale.
