This software bug then destroyed many airlines, hospitals, and other Western nations’ cloud information technology-dependent infrastructure. The largest Internet/IT failure in history since the Internet was invented by DARPA/CIA.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
