I recently heard that in the 1950's "futurists" were predicting that technology would give us a 3 day work week....
I have heard that the head of IBM in the 1940's stated that there would never need to be more than 5 computers in the world...
Your digital watch has more computer power than the computer power that put man on the moon in 1969....
The computer you are reading this on is likely to have more processing power than the computer used for the computer animation in the movie "Tron"...
The first computer I purchased in the 1980's cost me about $2000. The computer I would love to have would cost me about $2000...
Seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Hey, what happened to that 3 day work week?
The futurists didn't take into account our insatiable greed for more.
