If this was a CS major, 1994 might as well be Antiquity
I read CS papers from the late '80s/early '90s and it feels like unearthing cuneiform tablets. Lots of good ideas, just everything felt so raw and new.
I was just reading the first paper on TCP Vegas (TCP congestion avoidance protocol) and the tests were done with bandwidths of "over 100 Kbps" over the internet. Feels almost unreal.
and I was just looking at a 100Tbps backhaul the other day.. that's what, a billion times more bandwidth?
You guys remember when Sony made tiny handheld AM radios?
