284. Computer technology: it's been here a while

Now I'm an obviously sick, sick, delusional individual. But I remember back in 2nd grade, getting to visit a computer lab with the latest crappy Apple pcs. These computers sucked, and the only thing they were good for was learning to type, and playing Oregon Trail. This was in... 1986?

Computers were a relatively new thing. And a big deal. For obvious reasons. Now, we've had computers back since 1940! What? lol

Sure they sucked obviously. But wow. We've had like 80 years to perfect these things. And well hey, most people have one in their pocket now. Connected to the internet.
