Yeh, it still massively surprises me how anything can be designed or made
without computers and the internet. Basically ever since I started work
*everything* was designed via CAD systems and almost-instant internet
exchange of data. I often ask some of the older people working for my
company how stuff worked before, it is really interesting, and explains why
things can be made so much more efficiently today.
