You forgot to mention that in 2019 you are wearing on your wrist what in 1980 would be considered a super computer and occupying several shelves worth of space.

Edit: Some info that I found online. According to this article from 2015 [1 ]the apple watch is equivalent to two iPhone4s (Not sure I believe that but if true incredible). Also this quote:

"Meanwhile, the Cray-2 supercomputer from 1985, which is the fastest machine in the world for its time, is now only equal to an iPhone 4."

Another quote :

"The Apple Watch performs about 7 billion FLOPS"

According to wikipedia [2]:

"The Cray-2 released in 1985 was a 4 processor liquid cooled computer totally immersed in a tank of Fluorinert, which bubbled as it operated.[8] It could perform to 1.9 gigaflops and was the world's second fastest supercomputer after M-13"

So assuming that all of the information is correct then it is indeed true that the Apple watch from today is many times more powerful than a super computer from the 1980s.

Had never heard of them. Now I have and will be giving them a try. I definitely could see this word of mouth threatening YouTube if not outright killing them. Competition is always good.

That was actually refreshing. Many of the videos were fun to watch and put a smile on my face. Not bad TikTok!
