Moderators DennisD Posted November 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's interesting stuff. 1971 seems such a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 That goes along with Moore's law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law IBM was doing the same thing back in '65 with its SLT chips: http://books.google.ca/books?id=Bc8BGhSOaw...esult#PPA287,M1 Back in early '71 I was spending 3 months down in Kingston N.Y. learning the 360 Model 65 and it does seem like a long time ago.

Moderators DennisD Posted November 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2008 So you will have first hand experience of the amazing strides in development in 30 years. I can't imagine what stuff will be like in 30 years from now. Assuming I'm still around. Back in the 70's things like Video Phones were in science fiction programs like Moon Base. (Loved those outfits.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshireman Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 So you will have first hand experience of the amazing strides in development in 30 years. I can't imagine what stuff will be like in 30 years from now. Assuming I'm still around. Hmmm, it is interesting to think what things will be like in the future. For example, I wonder when 1GB bandwidth for Internet becomes an option with your typical Home ISP. I hope it is within my time. The rest of this topic is a bit past my time or too advanced for me so ...yeah.

Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
