      I think computer power at the moment is amazing, and the internet connects all the computer power up. Having both of these will transform our lives incredibly in the near future.

      I agree with Ben. I’d extend it to say how much computer power we’ve managed to fit in a smartphone… When I was a kid (like, 20 years ago), having a small, cordless device that could tell you where to go, how to get there and give you a 3D picture of the place was pure science-fiction. Now we call it Google Maps/Streetview, and we take it for granted that we can simply connect to several satellites for that information… Or think of Google Translate (sorry, I’m not advertising for that company but it has the most well-known examples), you can just scan a text in a foreign language and have instant translation (if not always perfect). Crazy stuff…
