Modern technology is so quiet and efficient, so here are some reminders of how noisy computing used to be:
Number 1: The dot-matrix printer.

The aquarium is a part of the Ocean Expo Commemorative National Government Park located in Motobu, Okinawa. The main tank called the ‘Kuroshio Sea’ holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters.
Imagine cleaning the glass on that! I think I need to sort my own aquarium out, it contains two fish and quite a lot of snails. The new filter seems to be running nicely, so I’ll pull out the old under-gravel filter out and restock it with fish again.
Went to the dentist, had a missing filling repaired. I think this video illustrates the situation nicely
To be fair though, my dentist is great and only spends five minutes digging around in my face with the needle while calmly saying “try to relax”. I’ll relax once you’ve finished prodding my brain with that six inch nail, since that’s what it feels like he’s doing with the needle.
Why is it that the most painful and unpleasant part of dentistry is having the anaesthetic injection? That, Alanis is ironic.
I have no idea what’s going on with this, but it’s interesting to watch. It reminds me of those bizarre art films that Channel 4 used to play late night in the 80s. I’d often fall asleep with my TV on and wake up to some random cartoon that made zero sense, and had no explanation as to why it was even on.
