We take for granted a lot of the technology we have today. Computers and phones have evolved so fast that it's hard to remember that they haven't been around for many years. When my youngest son was born in 1993, cassette tapes and the Sony Walkman were still popular, I had a wired phone in my car, and we had a Macintosh-II in the study.
Everything in this photo now exists in the cheapest of smartphones.
For a blast from the past and a look back at what used to be top-of-the-line … here's a video of people buying a computer in 1994.

Video transfer and playback. 160-megabyte hard drive. 32 megahertz. All for the low price of $2,000.
Pretty cool to see how far we've come! Still, someday soon, they will look back at the tech we have now as "primitive" and "quaint".
I can't wait!
