When I was at university, they implemented a register for classes by phone system in the early 90s. (How things were done before computers…)

I remember being in the bursars office and someone was complaining that they registered for a class and it didn’t show up. The woman working there spun her screen around and said “here are all you keypresses from last week, you clearly didn’t register.” Now with so much more computing power/networking and storage everything is stored..but I wonder if they’ll ever look?

Makes a great target for hackers though.
