Computers technology has changed for the better in my lifetime. I remember when computers only in houses and not even everybody owned one. Now we have laptops and other computer devices. Some are even small enough to fit in your pocket. For example most smart phones can do the same stuff as personal home computers. Everything has basically become smaller and faster. As for my mothers generation of computers they where hard to come by. Unlike today where there are about 10 computers in the library. During this time you were lucky if the library had 2 or 3 computers.
