3. It took just seventy years to get from a
device the size of a two-story building to
a device that fits in your pocket. Seventy
years to build a browsable, searchable
archive of information, accessible
globally. Seventy years between a time
when research and data was locked up
in books, available to only a privileged
few, and a time when information and
communication could be obtained by
everyone, everywhere.
