Wed 29-Oct-2025 – 5th Wednesday Show ‘n’ Tell: Portable Anything
At one point in time, what used to be an anchor eventually became portable, and then pocket size. Think calculator, phone, TV, timepiece, most test equipments. The definition of “portable” initially only meant it could be moved as some of these devices needed wheels, or 2 people to carry.
