March 6, 2025: The Robot Revolution

I’ve always loved tech. 

I remember the first time I played Pong on an Atari. Mind-blowing. Suddenly, I had games in my bedroom. No more stuffing my pockets with quarters for the arcade.

A lot has changed since then. Just today, I spent hours in a virtual conference exploring AI’s best business applications.

Which got me thinking about my technology journey. Here’s what shaped me, in order:

Viewfinder (as a kid, this was cutting-edge)
Atari
Apple IIe
Walkman
CD boombox
Internet
DVDs
TiVo
iPod
Smartphone
Artificial Intelligence

And now, the robots are here. So, what’s next... Holograms? Time portals? Star Trek transporters?

If the machines do take over, I’m ready with my Atari Space Invaders skills.
