As the bookkeeper responsible for teaching people how to use "those boxes" on their desks back in the day - I am in complete agreement with you.

In 1983, I was hired by a company to do bookkeeping in a place with about 100 people doing all the accounting functions for a developer with his hands in everything.

Some time before I got there, he bought 20 computers and gave them out around the office. I don't remember what they were, but they did not have mice - computers with mice arrived in 1986 and you had to stand in line to get one!

When I was hired I did not get a computer. Instead I got a 36 column spreadsheet to complete each month to reconcile thousands of transactions in multiple locations.

"Why can't I use one of those computers?" I asked.

"Because no one knows how here. The boss just dumped them HaHa. But you can't have mine because he gave it to me"

After a few people refused to give me the untouched computer they had shoved to the side of their desks, I went to the boss and said I knew how to use a computer thanks to my two months on an Osborne in the last job so could I please take one.

I got the upgrade and spent a few weeks designing a spreadsheet on SuperCalc. Everyone was so impressed with me and my incredible tech skills.

This spreadsheet changed my job description from "bookkeeper" to "teach everyone how to do this."

And so launched my career in the management and training of old people when I was 23. None of those ladies wanted to learn a thing from me! The older men taught themselves fast so that they would not have to be taught by that young b@tch. Lots of changes came out of this time and some people lost their jobs or got transferred.

I'm in for the crypto 100% even though I feel late to the party and I am certainly old by now. I'm so glad Steemit is giving me a chance to learn the complexity in a safe environment :)
