How was Life Before TV and Other Digital Products?
Smartphones converged the functions of several tools, including radio and television. However, I think that the technology is too new to make a fair judgement on whether it has impacted society more than radio or television. One might even say that it is still debatable whether radio or television had the greater long-term impact on society. People on the radio camp would say that most of the types of entertainment now associated with television, such as sports, live concert performances, dramas, soap operas, and game shows, were originally broadcast on the radio. They might even cite that broadcast coverage of World War II was almost exclusively via radio (television broadcasting had started in a few countries before the war, but most stations were off the air during the war). People on the television camp might say that television brought about an increased awareness in the way that things look and that it created a new platform for old material that originally had been developed for movie theatres (this would include things such as old films, Three Stooges shorts, and Tom & Jerry cartoons.

What's Different?
That was the question. “Gram, what’s different now from when you were a kid?” asked the ten year old grandson. Thinking back, I remember asking my dad and my grandfather the same question. It seems inconceivable that things haven’t always been as they are now.

Ada Lovelace, The First Computer Programmer. Top Story - July 2017.
When do you think the first computer came around? Thinking the 80s? 60s? 40s? What if I told you that a computer had been designed back in 1837, and that the first person who programmed for this device was the daughter of one of the world's most famous poets?
