Back in the late 60’s or early 70’s a guy name Steve Brand (this if from
memory) came out with The Whole Earth Catalog--An Access to Tools. Big rage
in the hippie/design/commune/techno geeky subcultures. He essentially
provided a source for tool and from there applications resulted.

Whole Earth Catalog by
Stewart Brand

Steve/Stewart not bad for 40 years of being in a muddled brain of millions of
pathways. Even got “access to tools” right. As you can tell, that was a really
important book in my youth. And memories from youth are the ones that stick the
best in old age.
Incredibly interesting reading and would make a good resource for anyone wanting
to learn about the years when technology really bloomed. Low tech and high tech.

60's, huh? Although I wasn't there myself, my uncle always said if you
remember the 60's, you weren't there. You remembered part of it. Does that
mean you were partially there? ;)

Well that is a fairly accurate statement. Although I was still pretty grounded
in the 60's--it was the 70's that were really where semi-presence occurred in
me. Amd from Paul's post I guess semi-presence is still hanging around me. lol
You must remember we were forging new frontiers back then. Today just kind of
tweaking them..
