I noticed things changing about 10 years before retiring in 98. I was a computer guru for an insurance company. When one of the mainframes crashed, we had to "dump" the memory, print out a stack of paper about two feet high and find the error in order to fix it. It took hours.
The year I retired, a mainframe failed and as a few of us prepared to test, a customer engineer from IBM walked in the door with a part in his hand. He didn't even know what it was. IBM's "big mama" computer in Armonk, NY. had automatically analyzed the problem and ordered the guy to deliver the part to us. We replaced it and walked over to the monitor to restart the computer, but it had already started. I realized then, that I was just peeling the bananas for the monkey.
