There must have been bleeding-edge tech companies in existench in 1986 or 1992 or so ... ok so imagine that OK: There were no fucking message boards like this for your INSTANT EGO-GRATIFICATION...
Idiots!
Yes, yes, graybeard - the Internet is the work of the devil.
Everything was better in the old days ...
That is not at all what I meant; you miss the point.
My point is that companies probably face much more aggressive onslaught from trolls nowadays because communications technology has advanced to the point of specific, detailed messages having the ability to be delivered instantly.
and HEY! Just because I happen to have a couple gray hairs in my beard now && I do sometimes feel "old", it does not mean I am some fuddy-duddy. I'll be 33 in February. I fucking love the Interwebs man; it's my life. Food, water, shelter, and wifi, those are the necessities. I just also dislike ignorance and rampant unexcused boredom, and where those two things meet up generally make for an individual who is extremely annoying to me.
And just for the record, FUCK the old days. Only thing I missed about 'em was the thrash metal, and bands like Warbringer, Havok and Vektor are doing a fantastic job of keeping thrash alive and solidifying it as a bona fide style of rock. I look ahead -- sometimes much too far ahead. i.e. circa 2600 AD when quantum computing becomes reality and we get upgraded to triple-helix DNA...
