Gotta admit the transistorization of the computer and the exponential decay of size required for the transistor, and exponential decay in duration of the transistor to FO4 (switch states, it's much less than the clock cycle) was beautiful while it lasted. Like now it's back to the drawing board.

Same as airplanes, basically the same since 1960, like we fly on Super Fortresses with the bomb bays replaced with cargo holds...like different dispenser, and the plexiglass fishbowl artillery in the front done differently. I would love to be in one of those fishbowls, like all exposed flying at the horizon like panoramic view. So suicidal, like all aviation.
Like not getting shot at like in Catch-22 though. Hopefully.

Modern commercial planes generally have jet engines. Jet engines represent a leap forwards in aerospace engineering.
