Right, because micro computers have had decades of investment and development, when in 1982 they were like 15 years old (microprocessors anyway (HN correct me))

Now the excitement is probably something that new or newer.. drones, recent ML, AR/VR/XR, wearable, or something that I don't know what it is. It's gotta be something where most people think it won't even work.
- ghaff 5y ago15 years in 1982 is casting a pretty wide net for actual microcomputers. The Altair 8800 kit debuted on Radio-Electronics in 1975 and the Apple II came out a couple years later. But I was an engineering undergrad in the late 70s and I knew no one who owned a personal computer. They didn't even become geek things beyond a very limited number of people until the early 80s.
