I was one of those days, thinking about the phrase Carpe Diem and its meaning, when it came to my mind something about technology and the little we know how to use techology, even though the great technological advances we have on hand.
We have the classic example in the Guidance Computer used to land Apollo XI on the moon back on 1969. It had a 2.048 Mhz processor (yes, two pont o’forty eight megahertz), 4K RAM memory with 16 bits long word, and an instruction set of 3 bits. And what’s the configuration of the computer you are using right now? I bet it’s at least a Celeron 1Ghz with 256Mb in RAM, 32bit instruction set and lots of fancy things… thousands of times more powerful than the the AGC that guided the Apollo XI to the moon. And how many times have you ever landed on the moon… in reality?
So be it… let this be an attempt to make a better use of the technology we have available…
