Computers have changed tremendously over the past 30 years. What once filled a room is now found in the cheapest of feature-phones. What once took a roomful of Accountants to complete can be calculated quickly and easily using standard software. Computers used to have many switches, codes, and commands that needed to be entered by the operator, who was often the programmer as well. Now, it is all simply clicked on, necessitating few decisions, just clicks. Computers have changed in many, many ways.

The years have seen the discovery of new technologies and higher precision manufacturing, allowing us to make smaller devices far more powerful. Consider that the typical phone is as powerful (if not more so) than the typical home computer from the early 90s.

Also, it's worth taking into account the current trends, since today is tomorrow's yesterday - history is made every second. According to the current pace at which we are advancing, by 2020, high-end smart-phones will be able to play many of the games and perform many of the tasks that we, today, associate with our home computers or consoles.
