Right. And the computing/storage capability of today's laptops would have weighed about 10 million pounds and have been the size of a the pentagon. Cost? Probably about the same as obamacare.

I’d go crazy without my Tivo, lol.. I don’t know how I made it without DVR’s until 1999.
I think that computing power has become so commonplace that it is simply taken for granted.

I mean, in 1959 I sincerely doubt anyone would have considered it even possible to be driving down the road in a computer controlled vehicle, using a computer based GPS system to give you directions all the while looking up where you want to eat that evening on your handheld smartphone computer.
Heck, science fiction of that time had not even imagined such wonders.
I completely disagree with the premise of this piece.
