My dad could be beyond brilliant but totally introverted. If we're talking about computers, he's on. Otherwise, he's a total recluse - he stays in the house and won't leave, and I'm like that. If I'm not working, I'm locked up in my room. Alessandra Torresani brilliantcomputerdad share on social

We're really just squeezing extra activity into every minute that we gain. Arlie Russell Hochschild activitybeepercell share on social
When I was 8 or 9, I started using bulletin board systems, which was the precursor to the Internet, where you'd dial into... a shared system and shared computers.
