What do you have in your pocket? Even if you’re
not a techie, it’s likely you have more computing
horsepower than a 1996 desktop computer combined with
high-speed Internet connectivity plus a cell phone
that works in most countries around the world, a stereo
system to rival the best of the 1980's, and a digital
camera . . . in other words, a modern handheld computer.
The library is offering an exhibit on the evolution
of the handheld, from its origins in science fiction
to its first appearance with a whopping 28k to the
sophisticated devices of today and beyond. Come take
a look at the way mobile computing has become ubiquitous
in just few decades transforming our lives. The exhibit
will be in the Arizona Health Sciences Library during
April!
