In December 1985, Cray launched the world’s fastest “super computer” at a supposed cost of $15 million.
As a crazy point of comparison, today’s smart phones have more processing power.
This fact also makes me think about how little we know—and can predict— about what the world will look like after another 35 years.
It’s not the absolute change in processing power, but rather what it unlocks for humanity, that’s important.
