Plus now your computing power and internet access and network access is ultra-portable. Compare this to being chained to a desktop. With phones, tablets, ultra thin laptops.....
In my book an ipad has pathetic computing power but still its 100X better than what you were stuck with just a short time ago
Being in IT and part of it maintaining remote sites, I was on call 24/7. I had a pager, and it wasn't easy trying to find a pay phone. Then I was given a portable cell phone, late 1980s early 1990s. It was a huge box with an attached handset with rotary dial, weighed a ton. It looked the size of a toaster. That morphed into a portable brick phone eight inches long by three inches deep. I still have it, it still turns on but of course can't connect now. Heavy as a brick. Amazing what we have now.
