Suggested title: "The remarkable capabilities of the Apollo computer"
The computer history is very interesting, but the title is clickbait. It acknowledges that the smart toaster is computationally far more capable, and unconvincingly tries to justify the title by arguing that the moon landing is more important than toast, which I doubt anyone's ever disputed.
- jwilliams 7y agoAgree, but the issue is with the article, not the title (which is directly from the source). The article even leaves off with: > The lesson, maybe, is simple: If your phone is so much more powerful than the computers that put humanity on the moon, then why are you just staring at Instagram all day? It's a pretty miserly take overall.
