With the age of technology upon us and the rise of fully electronic lifestyles not just being something you’d see in an episode of the Jetson’s; it can be easy to forget where it all began. Let’s think back to a time when computers were few and far between, and the coolest thing about a cell phone was the snake game (Nokia, we’re looking at you!). Compare that to the present day when the cell phone is the most powerful computer and even our homes are equipped with smart devices that we can’t seem to live without. There is no doubting the power of electronics in our society and the importance of them in our everyday lives.
