MAIN Topic: The History of Computing: 2010-2019
Presenter: Scott Granneman (https://www.sluug.org/bio/Scott_Granneman)

This talk will cover the foundational tech shifts of 2010–2019.
The technology landscape shifted dramatically as platforms, ecosystems, and online services reshaped how people communicate, work, and entertain themselves.

This talk explores the decade through major developments across companies, infrastructure, social media, gaming, and the broader technology industry.

Scott's series of talks has walked us thru the decades of history.

2000s on June 11, 2025.
1990s on Dec 19, 2024.
1980s on May 16, 2024.
1969- on March 13, 2024.

Remember the push was to stop using those mainframe computers "in the clouds". "Your data and your computing should be moved onto your own physical desktop on that new, powerful desktop computer!" Things have changed....or reverted?

We usually start the general meeting with our BASE introductory level session (often focused on personal computing), which may include either simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we may take a break before our MAIN event.
