Feel free to point out the errors exactly. We went from a collaborative environment to near-zero connectivity as the norm. You could even see the fact that people still swap out .ptt and .doc files via e-mail as direct result of that.

We have far advanced the time-sharing era systems in terms of connectivity, but the comparison is not such a hyperbole as one might think. A lot of research today is a revitalisation of work developed for time-shared machines.
