8 As a child growing up before the internet became a global phenomenon, Master Sgt. Seth Garceau never imagined that information technology would be so consequential in his life. One of his earliest childhood memories is playing games on the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) of the 1980s. He recalled later, in the 1990s, he and his friends messaging each other using AOL online service provider. Man, let s go back, said Garceau as he tried to remember the exact moment that ignited his lifelong passion for IT. There wasn t, you know, the internet back then, so I was just doing some word processing, playing Minesweeper (laughs).”
