Still remember the good ol\u2019 days with joysticks and bulky monitors? 1TB hard disks may now be a common sight, but did you know that people used to be excited over ads promoting 10MB hard disks? Modems were the size of radios, the Macintosh computer looked like a typewriter, and laptops reminded us of toolboxes.<\/p>\n
We may have outlived 3.5-inch floppy disk slots, and today 10 MB is the limit for an email attachment. It took us (a mere) few decades for us to come this far. In comparison, we can now carry 64 GB (that\u2019s 64,000 MB) of information in a drive that is the size of our thumb!<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve unearthed some retro computer ads<\/strong> to give you a firsthand look into what made the tech headlines before the age of keynote presentations, ultrabooks and tablets. You\u2019ll never look at your gadgets the same way again.<\/p>\n
