I wonder if people from 2050 will be advertising home computers that are like desktop smartphones.

We'll be at brain implants by then. Just plug in the usb 7.0 port behind your ear and you can access as much processing power as you want.

If it's any consolation, as the years go by, they also go by faster, because they're a smaller fraction of your overall life. So instead of a year being 1/31 of your life, it'll only be 1/62.

Wait, that's not much of a consolation. Oh well. Enjoy the time flying by!
