For some interesting perspective on how much computing has evolved: the original iMac was released in 1998, 27 years ago. 27 years before that was 1971 and the brand new exciting machine then was the Kenbac-1, the world's first personal computer.
And 27 years before that was 1944, when IBM delivered the Harvard Mark I... which John von Neumann immediately employed to simulate the implosion design which would be used in the first atomic bombs.
The song 1985 by Bowling for Soup was released in 2004 which is closer to 1985 than it is to 2025.
That song was also originally written by the band SR-71.
Fuck this thread
I liked these and was put off by the lampshade ones but those grew on me as the ability to put the screen whereever you want is pretty great.
we're closer to the time I farted than we are to the time I shat, so what?
