COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch

COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ

COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this? Please select "I love this very much" or "I'll be in love with this later" to continue

@burgerdrome Computer ad in the 2030s: Introducing Microsoft’s new Aurb! Powered with AI, it provides you with the most relevant responses to your questions, we’ve done away with that pesky keyboard and mouse schtick; Aurb responds entirely to swiping actions. Better pull some-a those rods out of the nukeano, because the energy demand is insane! Get ready for the purchase that is fully integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem or whatever the fuck we’re calling it now.
