The Space shuttle used computing power equal to an IBM 286 processor. But... Stability and solid switching was much more important than speed.

More than 1.2 billion smartphones roll off factory lines each year, and the WEEE Forum estimates that 5.3 billion of them are simply discarded annually.
Net minus 4B phones every year? Seems Ike we should be running out of phones pretty quick!
To: Red Badger
If these are cheap type phones, imagine what could be done with a handful of iPhones!.............
If you read the excerpt, they used the Google Nexus. So a 15-year-old phone that's about the same as a 15-year-old iPhone.
