@Mela So in 1955 we barely even knew what cancer was. This year, scientists took DNA, the actual building blocks of life, and made a living computer out of them that travels inside living beings and reprograms the code of biological life to automatically kill itself if it is a cancer cell. Try leaving your couch for a while, read an actual book, and stop watching Star Trek for your science info.

@mela
1996 to 2011 = the ability of 5 billion people to access all human knowledge ever collected and communicate/organize among themselves nearly instantly.

Yep, not much to see here.

I suspect a flying car might quench your thirst for shiny things but some people are interested in progress that actually matters.

For those old enough, among them, Ray.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and remember
what happened from 1955 to 1970 in computer science, e.g. from the first mainframes to the inception of UNIX.
Then, go from 1970 to 1985, from the big mini to the Macintosh
Then from 1996 to 2011!
Shocking, nothing new but the smartphone and byproducts of an everlasting downsizing.
Oh yes, there is Facebook and Twitter, welcome to the babbling society!
