And, of course, there’s always Moore’s Law. When I had my first full-time job, IBM’s top mainframe was the 360/91, which cost about $4,000,000 for the central processor alone. It would take about two thousand 360/91s to equal an iPhone 13. Add enough disk space, that’s many billions of dollars, and more acreage than the town I live in.
