according to today's independent, in less than 25 years computers will have become as intelligent as humans. Yeahhh...

I have come across a good few old computers bcause my dad has some involvement with them (at peak, including modern ones that were in use and old ones that were in storage, we had 16 computers in the house, in various states) but I don't think I've ever seen one quite that old. At least not a complete one.

Really strange to think of the comparatively tiny storage space, processing power etc these old things had, at least for me having really become aware of computers only airly recently and thus accustomed to modern standards; gigabytes etc...imagine telling a person in the early 80's that one day they'd be able to buy computers hundreds of times more powerful for less money than it cost to buy an apple 2e at $2500... they'd have thought you were mad... or they'd have thought that the computer would have taken up a room big enough to fit a house in...
