Remember the old Intel one “megabit” magnetic bubble memory? I worked on some old machine tools that had those, along with the old DEC 16bit microprocessors. State of the art, over 30 years ago.
Yes, and they took 20 amps at 5V to run...............
Glad someone else remembered bubble memory.
“State of the art, over 30 years ago”
Basically, the blink of an eye. The exponential pace of technological development is stunning.
6,000 years from the new stone age to the bronze age
2,000 years from the bronze age to the iron age
2,000 years from the iron age to the modern steel age
30 years from the transistor until 30 years ago
All that has been done in the last 30 years!
