Another name for the dragonfly is "darning needle."
I should probably have mentioned that.
I enjoy learning things from before my time.
When I stop and think about how much history I've seen, I'm kind of in awe.
Then, I think about my grandparents who saw horses change to cars, radio, flight, television, electricity, etc...
I've been closely involved in a field tangentially related to, and tied to, computational advancements. My first use of a programmable computer was in something like 1971. Before that decade was out, I'd use a networked computer.
From there until now... Holy crap! It's been awesome to witness.
I can only imagine, I have often wished I could have seen the birth of the personal computer and the internet(even though I kind of did see that one) I remember being amazed at Timbuktu(remote access software from the 90s) Thinking my god this changes everything and it has. I cannot imagine what I will see before my time is up.
