With limited memory and storage facilities

Reference no: EM131110329

In the 1970s, computers (even minicomputers) were very expensive. Since no one had their own computer, people had to share. Compared to today, computers in the 1970s were slow, with limited memory and storage facilities. Today, every programmer has his own computer with very fast processors, lots of memory, lots of disk space, sophisticated tools, and Internet access. Who had more fun, programmers in the 1970s or programmers today? How about programmers 20 years from now?
