It’s incredible to think that the phones we’re using today, which are tiny computers, harness more power than an entire building dedicated to computing back in those formidable years. Cool thought provoking picture, thanks.
I was in my High School's computer club back in the late 70s. We had a DEC computer with reel to reel tapes and paper punch tapes to store data. I remember when we had a 20Mb hard Drive installed. It weighed 40 lbs and took all day to hook up! I LOVE how we can now just look at our phones for maps, food suggestions, talking to people and checking facts. Seriously folks, it is amazing!

it is so sad how companies just keep selling smaller and smaller versions of the same products
