Re-Posting The AI Stories From Earlier Today -- Juneteenth, 2026

Locator: 51016AI. 

Query:     

I'm always looking for dots to connect; the big picture; timelines.  What about this?  In the big scheme of things.

First, the movie picture industry:                                                                                                        

  • 1890s: Thomas Edison -- motion pictures 
  • 1910: silents --> talkies 1
  • 920's: golden age; multiple movie houses 
  • 1929: the crash 
  • post 1929: the modern age 

Now, how does that compare to AI? 

  • pre-Covid (2020): personal computer
  • Covid: gaming 
  • immediate post-Covid: non-technical folks first learn of AI 
  • 2026: the Age of Agentic
