Wow
we sure have a come a long way since Sketchpad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad). When you compare the simplicity of this Robot Draftsman with 3ds and compare Pong with Assassins Creed, you receive an in depth look into the advancement of the past 40-50 years.
Just think if what we might be doing in ten years or better yet what our great grandchildren will be using. The steady increase in technology has been ever growing faster as each year speeds by. We have new O.Ss every couple years, Max is being updated yearly, video cards are getting faster and faster with each passing year; our chosen hobby is just expanding at a rate that makes the future of it it unknowable. There is plenty of room for speculation but to know what will be is a daunting thing to contemplate. But oh what fun it is to conjure up ideas of what technological creations wait just around the turn of the big hand of the clock.
Cant wait to see the future become today.
But they still haven't figured out how to make Max brew coffee.
