When the team working on this first made it sing, it went straight to the news immediately. Have you seen the first electronic computer? the colossus? it filled a room almost the size of a 2 story house! and it took a whole team to to make this one computer process 1+1. that was all this computer did. and now we have these amazing computers that can fit on a table so small that it barely takes up any room. and it only takes one person to do so much more. amazing how far we have come.
