My generation experienced the drastic shift from the analogue to the digital world. I was less than a year old when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. We developed films, transmitted faxes, typed on typewriters, and relied on carbon paper and minicassette voice recorders. We made newspaper and magazine layouts by paste-ups.

Videoproducers were proud of their Betacam video technology. Our video cameras were CRTs (cathode-ray tubes). Music was on vinyl records and cassettes. I'm aware that sounds old-fashioned and outdated. But I miss something that I don't know exactly how to make easy to describe. 

Nevertheless, it is a generation that witnessed all those wonderful happenings over time, and I only think of how nice an essay about that subject could be. The good news is that we're still standing, confident to work even powerlessly, disconnected if necessary. We can go naturally unplugged! There's no bad news!
