I recently attended my 25-year high school reunion. It made me think about how many things have changed in the last quarter-century. Many younger people today cannot imagine a time when not every household had at least one computer, or if they do imagine that time, they imagine the people in the household wearing powdered wigs.

When I was growing up, very few students had access to computers, and those computers were enormous, clunky, and not particularly helpful. In my hometown, very few businesses had word processors as well, although I imagine that the “city folk” had such equipment long before we did. I was in graduate school before I obtained even a rudimentary word processing device.
