The torture device known as the rotary telephone is being replaced with a push-button model. Chances are you do not have a personal computer at home; only 8% of U.S. households do. Those computers use floppy disks and run DOS. And IBM and the World Bank enter into a transaction ,which is widely considered to be the first swap.
