Life Before the Computer

Memory was something that you lost with age
An Application was for employment
A Cursor was someone who used profanity
A Program was a TV show
A Keyboard was a piano
A Web was a spider’s home
A Virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account
A Hard Drive was a long trip on a bad road
A Mouse Pad was where a mouse lived
And if you had a 3 ½ floppy … you just hoped nobody found out!

And you could buy replacement balls for your gummed up mice balls at Radio Shack.

Once upon a time, a "computer" was a person who was good at mathematics! 😲
