When you wanted to hook up a second monitor or a new pair of speakers, each accessory required a different cable that would eventually get lost in the office jumble. With the introduction of the Thunderbolt port in 2011, everything changed. This jack-of-all-trades technology packed a powerful punch with high-speed connections and a level of flexibility that was unparalleled at the time.
