My child was showing me their schedule for their first college semester on the laptop.  It got me to thinking about when I was signing up for classes; I was in an actual line as opposed to online.  You would wait your turn in the hope to get a punch card for the classes you wanted to get in, in a big auditorium with thousands of your fellow classmates.  The only terminals you were looking at were the people freaking out when they didn’t get the classes they wanted.  It wasn’t until my last semester there that the school finally retired the punch cards for a more modern computer system and even then someone else worked the computer.
