I remember my dad getting our first "powerful" computer as a kid. My dad had these terminal green computers that he did some word processing on for graduate school papers, but I remember when he brought home a machine with Windows 95 freshly installed, and it felt so much more modern.

He bought Doom. I have no idea why he picked that game, but that's what he bought with the computer. I played the mess out of that game. It was the first game I could play multiplayer on by using the modem to dial my friend's computer and play alongside him.

Looking back now, it seems so primitive in some ways and yet still so modern. As we go through the birth of the intelligence age, I know my own son, who is playing with AI now on his iPad, will look back the same way I did, with both a sense of awe and wonder and nostalgia.

I can't wait to see what technology looks like when he's my age now. It will be spectacular in so many ways.
