David Rothman delivered an excellent presentation regarding the history of technological development. The pace of technological development is astounding. When we think of terms of information storage and what was available to us during the sixties, seventies and even eighties, we’re amazed at the costs, time involved, and cumbersome storage. To think that even in the nineties the time and cost involved in storing files was dramatic and yet now we need only spend perhaps $9.99 for a memory stick and with a couple of clicks, we’re on our merry way! David’s presentation took us through a nostalgic trip of days gone by and the bright future ahead.
