FLASHBACK

The Eniac Computing Calculator

“Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1.5 tons.” (Popular Mechanics in 1949)It’s good to run across reminders like this. Our vision shouldn’t be limited by what we know today, but wide open to the infinite possibilities of our imagination.

I call it the “Jules Verne Effect” — when we come into awareness of what might be, the foundation is laid for manifestation. The more attention is paid to it, the faster it becomes reality.
