It's kind of scary, to be honest. We see computers from even 20 years ago as bulky, god knows what they'll be like in 50 years from now. Hell, who knows if we'll even still be using a separate machine as a computer?

I often think about it:"What will they think about us in the future"

They might say the same thing that we think about our parents: "OMG I don't want to live like them! It is so boring!"

waaaah, they were so huge in the past. But I don't think they can get much better than what we have today, although I'm ready to be proven wrong!
