What Is Something Nobody Had 70 Years Ago That Almost Everyone Has Today?

In 1956 — just 70 years ago — not a single person carried a personal communication device connected to a global network.

Today, over 6 billion people carry smartphones.

The modern smartphone:

• Has more computing power than 1960s mainframes
• Connects instantly to global information
• Provides maps, banking access, cameras, libraries, and translators
• Can broadcast you to millions

Seventy years ago:

• Long-distance calls were expensive and rare
• Photos required film and development
• News traveled slowly
• Publishing required gatekeepers

If you’re ever feeling down, remember that your baseline standard of living exceeds that of:

• A medieval king
• A 19th-century tycoon
• A 1950s “Mad Men” style executive
