Computers have indeed changed beyond recognition, but the Unix time beneath them is still there. If you’re running any flavor of Linux device or a Mac, it is there in the lower half of the operating system, right below the GUI.

Staring you in the face will be the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970.
