I started traveling for business 37 years ago and during that time electronics has of course gotten exponentially lighter and more powerful. So why has my day bag gotten heavier? Am I carrying anvils around?

@MitchWagner No it’s the cables, power blocks and random peripherals .. and of course the old joke

“I bought a tiny watch the other day…
It came with two giant batteries.
Guess it’s a mini watch, but with massive power!”

@JohnPhilpin Yup. And 37 years ago I was not traveling with an iPad with keyboard folio and a ebook reader.
