I saw an Atari 400 pop up on Facebook Marketplace. This was my first computer 40-something years ago that really got me into programming. It had an 8-bit 1.8 MHz processor and 16k of RAM. The run of the mill PC I'm using today has six 64-bit 2.6 processing cores running at 2.6 GHz each, 32 GB of RAM plus 12 more for video processing. To put that in perspective, that is 1,400 times faster with 2,750,000 times more memory. What other devices have experience growth like that?
