It's been about 50 years since NASA announced a crew was going to the Moon. That happened yesterday. Today is the day a former president gets criminally charged for the first time. Looking at the way things are, we waited too long. Roe v Wade is 50 years old.
It was 50 years ago John Dean gave his damning testimony at the Watergate hearings. Later that year, VP Spiro Agnew resigned. There was also the 1973 oil crisis, when OPEC screwed the countries that had supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War.
It's not a transition, but it's also been 50 years since the first cell phone call was made. 50 years ago today I was in Vienna. Vienna taught me how cities ought to be. We still haven't grasped the obvious, hopefully we're not completely brain dead. It was 1972, so 51 years ago HP unleashed the first pocket scientific calculator. That was a big thing in the history of tech development. Basically it put a computer in the hands of anyone that could use it. It was a big part of the tech explosion, but it doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves.
