Over time though that technology was compacted and made to run faster with very little power. Now we have scientific calculators that weigh less than a pound, fit in your pocket, and can run off of a couple of solar cells.

This thing will be huge at first, but after it's done people will look at it and say, how can I make it smaller, faster, and better?
