Sometimes I think about all the things I do for work and how not very long ago, it would have taken months instead of days.
Imagine taking an average worker of today and their output back to 1998. They would definitely be under suspicion of cocaine use.
CAD is obviously something that got much better with better computers, but apart from such heavily PC focussed jobs, I’m not sure this holds true.
Digital systems waste a ton of worker’s time as well, and we now have much, much more bureocracy than before.
In many cases, computers are great at helping you fix problems and accomplish tasks you didn’t have without computers.
