Changes in technology

Sometime in the early 1990's, I'm guessing 1991, I was introduced to a computer program called Bex.  Bex was stored on two 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and took a long time to load.  The software spoke text  entered on the computer.  In addition to this I used a black and white CCTV, think of a video camera attached to a computer screen and used to enlarge paper-based text and images.  Over the next several years the software changd, but two four wheeled carts were required to transport and store the equipment.  However, in 2002, this all changed and two carts turned in to two bags.  Now, as a Ph.D. student two bags has been reduced to one laptop case.  Now, what was once large print books and large equipment is a laptop, kindle, iPad and no more largeprint books.  It is amazing tome how technology has changed.
