There is no doubt that from the days of computers that took up an entire room to a time when they can fit in your backpack despite having a boatload of more computing power and abilities compared to those of yesteryear, we have certainly come a long way in just half a century.

To be honest, coldfustion makes a pretty convincing argument, at least when you consider how the Galaxy Note 2 can multitask with aplomb thanks to its powerful four-core processor.
