This place is great, but my work had a function here and I walked around with one of our juniors and never have I felt so old. The pure astonishment and confusion when looking at a “floppy disk” aged me instantly.


I suppose that means the museum is doing its job then: educate people totally ignorant of the history of computing. Next time that younger person sees a floppy disk they will know what it is.


Absolutely!


I've seen my own work in that museum. I felt super old!


You mean the real-life save icons?


I own things that are in the museum which makes me feel old too!
