Yessiree! The internet is MY collective memory. How did I ever get through meetings and do any work without being able to "look it up" on the internet.. It's hazy, but I did do it at one point...
Heck, if I think hard enough (POP!-- that was a brain cell popping
) I remember when people used to smoke at their desks. It was also big for developers to smoke while programming!
Imagine all the developers being on that caffeine/nicotine rollercoaster! They would drink their coffee at 9:00am ....come down off the caffeine and go out for a smoke at 10:00am and so on..and so on....
Now that I think more about it...I'm starting to see those flashbacks of people putting their feet up on their desks and lighting up! Hah! Cracks me up....
God....now I'm remembering back to college...I had an English professor who smoked all through class and would put the cigarette down on the chalk ledge. The cigarette would burn the chalk dust and make the room have this terrible stink...In order to get out of class you had to STOP, DROP and ROLL!
(Ahhhhh....good ol' LaSalle U)
