Just this week I had to do a paper for a Pace University class I'm taking on one of the historical events that really had an impact on history. The paper had to be somewhat extensive and I thought "Woe Is Me!". Low and behold after conducting a search, I found a website the zeroed in on the Top Ten Historical Events at
Seeing how I love Information Technology, my eyes immediately zeroed in on number 9, The Dawning Of The Information Age.
This was in my opinion a "loaded" topic as there are so many aspects and I had to think of what could I zero in on. I decided to zero in on flow of digital information exchange as I saw it as well as played a role in the early 1990's. Similar to an article I did recently and posted on my Blog, which reflected on my Andrew Jackson High School years, while working on Wall Street in the 1980's, once again to some what you are about to read may seem unclear in terms of trying to get a picture of what was going on, to others it may seem a little clear and yet to others it will be crystal clear. Here's just a little portion of the paper I came up with...
The Information Age brought about computers and the internet.
The factual information is that we are able to do more now than we could prior to the dawning of information age. Computers in their current form today were on-existent. The computers that did exist took up the size of a large room. Computer code was written on punch cards and “fed” into the computers. There is a podcast on iTunes of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that speak of how things were prior to the real evolution of the information age.
The computers that did exist that could be used by individuals as noted in the podcast had very little memory and hard disk space. Because of this the programs written to run on these computers also had very limited capabilities. The computer programming code existed on tape recorders. I know this personally because I used the computers like this. One of the early computers that were in existence was made by Radio Shack and was called the TRS-80. The computer was not stand alone with a display but rather was more like a keyboard with outlets to input peripherals. To this “keyboard” I connected my TV which served as a display. I also connected little snap in cartridges which contained the programs I wanted to run. There were cartridges for Word Processing, Spreadsheets and even online communications via Videotext Cartridge. There was also a programming language cartridge called Basic Assembler. You could save your work (Wording Docs, Spreadsheets, etc.) on to a Cassette Tape Recorder. To get online I used a cable connected to the keyboard that when into a separate Modem. This Modem connected me to the Information Services that existed at the time such as CompuServe Information Service (CIS). This was the “Internet” for users of the time. You were able to read the latest news, join in Bulletin Board Discussions as well as participate in Live Chat.
Information Exchange was a key part of the Information Age. As the Information Age further evolved, individual users found that that if they did not want to pay for an online information service such as CompuServe, they could create they own exchange of information between one or more users. This was done via the use of Computer Bulletin Board Systems or BBS’s. I ran one of these systems. Users were able to l dial my system (my actual telephone line) and I had my computer setup “ready” to take calls from users. I had Message Boards setup for users to exchange information with each other on my system. A Network of Computer Users evolved that at certain intervals at night would “drop off” messages to other Bulletin Board Systems. The Message exchange would be to the “next closest” system so that eventually the message “drop off” would cover the global. Popular networks of that time were called “Fido Net” Systems where numerically assigned numbers were the “ID” number for the individual computer board systems. The cost was just the phone calls and thus the mail drop offs occurred late at night were rates were low.
At this point the Internet was not in full swing, but E-Commerce was “up and coming” Using these same Bulletin Board Systems users were able to subscribe to services during their dial up session and purchase products using a credit card. The Bulletin Board System would just as it “dropped off” mail, would “drop off” credit card transactions to a card processor for payment. Automation in these early stages was key, so I had my Bulletin Board System setup to automatically take an incoming call, from a user looking to exchange email and/or purchase products. That same evening my system would automatically go offline to drop of mail to the nearest BBS System part of the Fidonet Network and then make another call to process any pending credit card orders.
As the Information Age further evolved having a “Website” was the “in” thing to have. With your Website you now became automatically global. Users could now visit your website and do all of the things they did on your Dial up Bulletin Board System. Once more, while you could only have a limited amount of users on your Bulletin Board System, on the Internet via a Website there was no limit. You would only have to pay additionally charges if you had an exceeding large amounts of traffic called bandwidth. The Internet via a Website allowed for Multimedia which was a big step forward. You could now have Sound, Pictures and Video all on your website to enhance the user experience. You could now offer many of the same services that the online information systems such as CompuServe were offering. This capability often led to the demise of companies such as this because “everybody and their mother” could do the same thing.
Today, my Bulletin Board which was accessed by dialing a phone number is now called up via my website bearing the same name Holman's World. I can offer what I offered on the Bulletin Board Service and much more because of the evolvement of the Information Age.
The Big Online Services like CompuServe provided the “neat and cool stuff”. I found their offerings were quite exciting. The offered very manageable discussion boards. I actually served as Discussion Board Leader in many of these online forums. I saw what the board looked like from an Administrative point and was impressed. Just as companies were developing products for the BBS users, they were also developing products for the Large Online Services as well. As the Online Services could have numerous amounts of users online, their message boards were very large and just trying to read everything was a challenge. Companies developed software that allowed users to read their messages offline whether for a large online service or a Bulletin Board Service, thus saving online cost. These Offline Readers (OLR) were key for all users as they could mark read messages and compose responses to be sent during their next online session, whether on a large online service or on a computer Bulletin Board Service.
In the Information Age, we’ve come a long way and it seems we still have a long way to go as today’s technology is history by tomorrow.
As I did with my Wall Street Article, I'd like to mention again an organization that has played a critical role in technological developements and that organization is BDPA Information Technology Though Leaders (http://www.bdpa.org/) This organization was right at the forefront of the Bulletin Board Systems back in the day and had it's own FidoNet Style network called, BDPANET. Take at look at some the BDPA files from back in the day as well. Also the picture in this Blog post is me presenting an Internet Seminar at a BDPA National Conference actually during the time when the BDPANET and my BBS was in full swing. The Laptop Shown is what I actually used to run my BBS.
This paper mentioned the larger online services and offering such as Chat Sessions. I conducted some of them. What did they look like. Have Look at my Chat Logs from back in the day.
Lastly I tried to share an lesson on two on the regular and called them, "Information Highway Lessons".
That's What Faith Is For (aka That's What Friends Are For" was from the album, "We're Gonna Make It" released on Savoy in 1988. The album was recorded live at Cathedral of Bountiful Blessings COGIC in Memphis, TN.
Just a note... You'll notice the late O'Landa Draper in the front row behind the organist. Also in the video is Jeffrey White playing bass
Relationships - Men and Women (read between the lines below)
The first thing I told my young adults is that the person you are looking to establish an everlasting relationship with has to be God fearing. They my young adults have to also be God fearing.
This is first and foremost. I will break it down Each person should have given their lives over to God. Each person should have confessed with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believed in their heart that God has risen him from the dead. Each person should have received (not begged for) the in filling of the Holy Spirit.
If you don't have the above you will still deal with trouble, but it will be much worse!
If you are both saved, you must realize you are still human. You CANNOT do what MARRIED folk do, when your are NOT married. Don't tempt yourself either. The more you spend time together, the more you will want to spend tim together. You are NOT MARRIED yet, so DON'T DO what MARRIED folk do.
Don't put yourself in situations, where you just windup doing what Married Folks do. You are not married and you do not want the lady to get pregnant and deal with having a child, giving the child up for adoption or WORST, KILLING the child.
Get to know that man or that women. Ask yourself am I ready to spend the REST OF MY LIFE with him or her? Watch how they carry themselves. They may be saved but IS THIS WHO GOD HAS FOR YOU???
You may not get the answers to all of these questions right away and it may take time, you may not find out all the answers until much much later, but this is why you have to be SAVED and HOLY GHOST filled. Trust me, God will provide some of the very answers you need. You have to be willing to listen to him. If you MISS God, just admit it in prayer to him, "Lord I really MISSED you with this person, forgive me and help me". He will for sure, but you HAVE TO MEAN what you are saying and praying. It might be you have to start all over again with someone else, but LEARN from you EXPERIENCES.
This is just a small part, I may be writing a book on this but felt compelled to share this small portion.
Be Blessed, Be Encouraged.
Elder Michael Holman Sr.
Just a video from Bishop TD Jakes with his wife Serita Jakes on RELATIONSHIPS
This just in... "To be like Jesus, Oh to to be like Jesus. How I long to be like him." To be a Christian is to be "Christ Like", or just like Christ is. We have to depend on him for everything we do. If we seek him, we will find him. If we knock the dorr will be open. If we seek him, we will definitely find him. No matter where we find ourselves in life we must depend on him. He knows the next step we should take. We just need to wait on him. Isaiah said, even the you would be weary, young men would utterly fall, but they that WAIT upon the lord, sall renew their strength. they shall mount up as eagles with wings, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Look at the video I did entitled, "Your Spiritual Economy" below.

If you have been following our quotes on our Wealthy Place ® Facebook Page, you know that we have just finished up our readings on the Psalms and are now starting the Book of Proverbs. Reading Proverbs 1:10-19 you will find the words, "If sinners entice thee consent thou not."
Over the years of sharing information with my children, I often tell them to watch who they associate with. Parents know that, as brought out in this Psalm, our children (and even us!) can be "enticed".
Many of us, not even involved in the church or religion, know a powerful truth. The longer our children associate with the wrong group, the stronger the chances of them becoming just like the group they associate with.
We have challenge with our children in school spend alot more hours away from us then they do with us. This is why we need to prayer over our children for God's keeping power. We need to ensure they know the way of salvation (not by forcing it down their throats!) and they they only need to "Confess with their Mouth and believe in their hearts that God has risen his son from the dead and they can be saved." We need to encourage them to receive (no beg) for the infilling of God's Holy Spirit. If you follow my "Monday Morning Prayer on Blog Talk Radio" you know I often try to include this in the prayer.
My lessons to my children is to never be intimidated by others. Never feel you have to gain another friends approval. You don't owe them anything. Our Children so need to hear from us (in loving words and tones), that there is a better way to life. I tell my children, never let anyone tell you, "You can never reach that goal". I tell them through Christ (if they have given their lives to him) they can DO ALL THINGS!
I tell my children that these "so called" friends will try to convince you that you have to "to what they do" to be cool. Often "what they do" can., make you a parent before marriage and way before your time, get you a prison record, get you killed or much more. How many of use know people we grew up with who are "no longer in the land of the living" due wrong associations.
I believe often our children may not even ever think of doing wrong acts, but they are "enticed" not only by so called Friends, but "The Internet", "TV", "Movies" and more. As I'm re-reading the Book of Proverbs, there are many "Virtues and Vises" that let you know the enjoyment of some of these things that others "entice" us will soon pass away.
It is a challenging job to raise children and try to "shield" them from these "enticements" but with God,"All Things Are Possible"
As I was reading this Psalm 1:10-19, I developed a stronger burden for "The Next Generation" as the enemy is trying to "Snatch Them Away", I'm determined, as you and many others, to "Snatch Them Back!"
Author Michael Lewis discusses his book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, the future of finance as he sees it, and his thoughts on whether today's business students have a chance at changing it. Part of the Dean's Speaker Series, co-sponsored by the Center for Responsible Business as part of its Peterson Series on Sustainable Finance. (September 13, 2010)
The University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business is one of the world's leading producers of new ideas and knowledge in all areas of business - which includes the distinction of having two of its faculty members receive the Nobel Prize in Economics over the past 15 years. The school offers six degree-granting programs. Its mission is to develop innovative business leaders - individuals who redefine how we do business by putting new ideas into action, and who do so responsibly. The school's distinctive culture is defined by four key principles - question the status quo; confidence without attitude; students always; and, beyond yourself.
After thirty five years on Wall Street, what I believe was a critical part of the cause of the Financial Crisis has been told in a book by Michael Lewis, which is now a movie. "The Big Short": author Michael Lewis on 'betting on Armageddon' during the global financial crisis; making of star-studded new film. Read more at Here...http://trkn.co/g/2899
