The important thing about the machines is the social culture around them. As far as the tech itself, I'm pretty much 95% happy with today's hardware and software, and least in terms of function. For all intents and purposes, video games, social media, and to an extent even most personal projects are basically a recreational drug, having almost no value without the proper set and setting. In the 90s, the world on the screen was a novelty. When you spend all day on it, it is not. It was also a reflection of the real world and a way to discover things. Without the physical model airplanes, a model airplane forum would just be another scrolling hole.
