This document discusses reasons for the evolution of wallets. Wallets evolved to fill the need for a portable item that could hold essential items like money and cards, as other items like purses and bags are too bulky to carry everywhere conveniently. A wallet evolved as it fits in one's pocket and allows one to keep all needed items together in a compact space that can be accessed anywhere.
Industry maneuversCompaq bested IBM in 1986 by releasing the Deskpro 386, the first desktop to use Intel's latest 80386 chip, giving the PC as much speed and power as some of the older mainframes and minicomputers, according to the Computer History Museum. In 1987 IBM caught up to the 386 world and released the OS/2 operating system as a replacement for DOS, enabling the use of a mouse with IBM machines.
