Computer speeds and graphics have progressed significantly over time. CPU speeds from Intel and AMD have increased through competition, starting in the 1990s at MHz levels and increasing each year. Early computer graphics used light pens to draw, while today we have powerful CAD programs and 3D modeling like the iconic Utah Teapot, which has been a symbol of 3D editing since 1975.
