Did anybody really write that? The first electronic stored-program computer, the Manchester Baby (1948), had 1024 bits of storage. Even assuming no miniaturization, just scaling up contemporary computers would have gotten you more than 1000 bits.
- kabdib 7y agoI forget the name of the book, but yes, they really did write that. It wasn't a mainstream author, if that matters. (It might have been a megabit, but it sure wasn't much compared to what you need in order to run a computerized dystopia...).
