It made me think about all of the tools from the past that aren’t around anymore because they’ve been replaced by the latest and greatest thing. Technology is always replacing itself. It […]

There’s been a growing trend recently, and that’s this sudden, (or maybe not so sudden) re-emergence of 80’s pop culture. Even looking around campus I can’t help but notice those who are wearing 80’s inspired fashion. (Not me- 90’s bell bottoms for life, man). All of this seems to have started a few years ago …
