Back way in the day when computers were ENORMOUS, regular people like you and me didn't have personal computers. Instead they had black and white TVs with four channels and radios with only about 5 or 6 stations. Kids usually played outside and maybe helped there parents with some household chores. Today life with personal computers is way better! we can research and find out new and unusual things with just a click. You don't have to carry heavy research books home or search through the books looking for something because everything is can be done with just a click on our personal computer!
