When I was a child(I'm 80 now), the phone company would call our house as a wake-up call. My folks could not wake up with alarm clock, but would wake up by the sound of the phone. My father grew up on a farm during the 20's and 30's, used corn cobs regularly. Finally, the fluroscopes in shoe stores were common.

For those who are agitated by the way he pronounced "bugatti chiron", you can correct him without being rude or I think out of courtesy we should not point out errors immediately. If you feel too agitated, you can pronounce the word in your own sentence indicating the correct pronunciation. And instead of criticizing him for his pronunciation, can't we just appreciate how hard he works every day to deliver the best content he can? From editing skills to narrating skills, he has it all!

For more than 50 years, an unofficial rule of thumb had held true regarding the progress of computer technology: Moore's law. It stated that computing power would double about every 2 years. However, in the early 2000s, we started to diverge from that steady increase...by doubling in computing power in LESS THAN 2 years per cycle. It's now at a point where computing power is increasing faster than storage space capacity. In the next several cycles, we'll have computers capable of scanning their entire hard drive in mere seconds.

Anytime growing up a teacher had the audacity to say "you won't have a calculator in your pocket all the time when you grow up" just proved how dumb they were. It was a simple logic to me even in the 90's, computers once took up an entire warehouse to match the capabilities of a PC in the 80's and tableted interactive devices were already being made (game boy) and cell phones already existed while computers were able to make calls, it was inevitable that the technology of a computer would eventually be small enough to fit in your pocket and that we would try to cram as many features into those devices as possible since we were already doing it with the rest of that same technology.

A really enlightening subject matter, begs the question though, will we go too far?
