In the early 90s, I believe MS Word came on a few floppy disks and the main executable was 2MB. It ran fine on a 16Mhz 386 with a total of 2MB RAM (let that sink in!)

It did pretty much everything it does now, only lacked a grammar checker. (WordPerfect had one.)

Now we measure things in GB units. 1000X bigger, but what was gained?

We not only lost the way, we don’t even know the destination any more.
