It’s crazy to think the world’s first general computer, Eniac, cost about $400k in 1946… roughly 8-9 in today’s dollars.


It filled an entire room, weighed over 30 tons, consumed massive amounts of electricity, and wasn’t connected to anything beyond the task it was built to perform.
Back then, almost nobody could’ve imagined that one day we’d carry computers in our pockets, connect billions of people instantly, and use AI to answer almost any question in seconds.
The biggest technological revolutions are impossible to fully appreciate while you’re living through their earliest chapter. People judge what exists today instead of imagining what the infrastructure will eventually enable.
Perspective is everything… we’re in the infancy stage of this evolution - you can’t put a value on the internet of value.
