Evolution of the PC-- Part 2

An interesting THEN and NOW comparison.

Then first  Now second

1962 LINC  -//-  2012 iPhone5
about eight square feet  -//-  5 x 2 inches
1 kb of memory  -//-  16 gb of memory
1,000 bytes  -//-  16,000,000,000 bytes
sold for $43,600 (in '62 dollars)  -//-  Sells for $199

Of course, when they compare the 2012 iPhone5 to whatever the new thing is in five years, the comparison will be similar.
