I saw this looooong ago, Pentium days.
Computers are not like cars.
Most don’t need a zillion gigs of memory and 100 Terabyte hard drive, at 100 GHz speed to write posts on Fakebook, surf the Interwebz, or write a homework assignment.

Yes. But IMHO the real killer “app” will be when AI becomes actually user-friendly (but subservient) AI. Every man the owner of a digital servant, without the need to know bupkis about his hardware/software. Siri/Alexa on steroids.Of course the tech will also make a “wonderful” “Big Brother” . . .
