    A while ago, I found an old Wiley Cybersecurity book from the early 90s and decided to see what has changed from then until now.
    I did up a short blog post on the similarities and differences here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/cybersecurity-in-the-90s/
    I'm posting it here as it may make for a fun extra resource when teaching a Cybersecurity course.

    That reminds me of an old book in my archives that I had on Computer Forensics. It's probably sitting in the box that my wife has been wishing she could get rid of for over 15 years...

    Thanks for sharing Jason. Funny we seem to still be working on the fundamental question: Is it cybersecurity or cyber security?

    I've never understood why in Canada and the UK there seems to be some weird push towards calling it Cyber Security (including at my own college).

    But I firmly told our Academic Services dept and exec management that the industry calls it Cybersecurity, so that is what it is and what we're going to call it in our courses if we want industry employers to respect our college and programs.

    They understood ;)

    When I passed A+ for the first time back in 2003, there was an entire section in the course dedicated to the history of computing. Napier's Bones, Babbage's difference engine, Herman Hollerith, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, the Mark 1 , Mauchly & Eckert, EDVAC, ENIAC, EDSAC, Altair....

    ....All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
