Times They are a Changin'

When I was a cub scout, many long years ago, my troop took a field trip to see a computer. The computer was the pride and joy of a large company in Milwaukee – the "computer" took up an entire building. The scope of the computer was impressive to me, but in reality tracking payroll and inventory were the only capabilities of that machine. The box on or next to your desk is so much more powerful than the computer that had its very own, rather large building. It only takes one to run it where the company’s computer took at least fifty folks. Wonder if your great grandkids will look at a picture of a PC and say “You used that huge clunky old thing?” Then imagine trying to explain a typewriter or writing letters to them.
