Answers
Answer #1: The biggest difference between the computers of today and the computers then, is mostly the size, power, and actual technology that goes into making one.
Answer #2: Thanks to many different companies, schools can give out computers to those in need. They usually have built in software that allows for accommodation for those with a disability so your brother can play away!
Answer #3: The prices now are not comparable to then, because of rapidly changing hardware that goes into newer computers they often have better performance than back then.
Answer #4: That is UW’s accessibility program, Taskar Center for Accessible Technology. They help give people with disabilities access to computers, and the ability to use them just as well as anyone.
Answer #5: The amount of money made per year depends on your experience, education, company, and ability. Anywhere from $50,000 to $2.5 million per year.
Answer #6: Housing costs in those areas are naturally high, because of demand for personal space. They’ll usually hover around $100,000 to $2.3 million. As this is a big leap for you on the other side of the country, jobs around there also pay much more than that of most places.
Answer #7: Technology is an expensive part of life, but many companies including google plan to bring technology to those around the world who would otherwise have no access to it. Their future looks bright not only with their faces, but with their computer screens.
