The importance of turning an idea into a prototype – the changing scenario in computing methods
Computing has advanced dramatically over the past few decades. Earlier systems relied on programs that were installed and run on individual personal computers. Users would purchase software licenses, install the programs themselves, and then access those applications from their desktops. If you wanted to use an application on another computer, you had to install it there as well.
