Groundbreaking! Yale University has just discovered photosynthesis:
Trees are feasting on decades of carbon dioxide emissions and growing bigger as a result, according to a new study of U.S. forests. ... “While we’re putting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we’re actually taking much of it out just by letting our forests grow,” Sohngen said in a statement. “We should be planting more trees and preserving older ones, because at the end of the day they’re probably our best bet for mitigating climate change.”
Seriously: the fact that a top level "woke" university is admitting this is actually significant. Thin edge of the wedge in displacing the cult of environMENTALism.
I did use 8" floppies when I started my last job, which I retired from after 18 years. I was 50. Now years later, I can do what I wish.
Punch cards?
We had to hand punch lab results in chemistry lab in college over 50 years ago. It was a hole punch. Turn the dial to a letter or number and hit it. Move the card a bit and repeat.
We had front panel switches.
I never bought a kit computer. I waited until the Timex-Sinclair came out, and I bought it and the memory pack for about $80. I never saw any of the old mainframes except for the one on display in the Smithsonian.
