I am definitely betting on crypto based decentralized platforms for the future. As my addition to your post technology wise, my first personal computer was an IBM portable I bought around 1983 used. It had 640k of ram and two five and a quarter inch floppies. No “laptop” that. It was bigger than a portable sewing machine and would put your legs to sleep if you ever rested it on your lap.
Wow, how times have changed! LoL. I was born in 82' so this was a little ahead of my time but I do remember seeing computers like this. I remember the original MAC computers too, my neighbor had one that we use to play around on when I was young. I also do remember big floppy discs, haha. I also remember when games would have like 5-10 floppys you would have to keep exchanging out through the entire game to get the program to continue! OH HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED! ;)
I like to remind the younger folks we have more computing power in our cell phones than they used to send the first men into space. Definitely things have changed!
