It IS overly remarkable. When my mother was growing up, she had to go to a library to find out any information, and if they didn't have it, she was out of luck. Not long before I was born, computers were massive and only had information based on their mainframe. Now I can find out anything no matter where I am within seconds, and even with my little outdated and dying iPhone 3, I STILL have more computing power than was in mainframe computers IN MY POCKET. If I'm not mistaken, modern smartphones (though not necessarily mine, it is outdated and dying as I mentioned) carry more computing power than was used to send the first people to the moon.

You are correct. The computing power that launched Apollo 11 to the Moon is roughly equivalent to a modern pocket calculator (Not scientific or graphing). Amazing, isn't it?

I've never cared much for animae. I don't actually watch that much TV. I perfer to watch films or grown TV series.

*Wonders what Rachel means by "grown TV series"* Does that mean for an older audience? 'cause there's a lot of anime for teens and above

I believe you mean things such as the Walking Dead etc.?

We also have an Anime club  ;D But I'm part of the Japanese Club cos I love Japanese. We do heaps of stuff like making Japanese food and doing stuff WAY above our year level.

I mean........not like kids TV shows. Like 12s and maybe above.
And I've never seen the Walking Dead actually.

Jetthebinturong

Most anime is definitely not for kids

Well, I don't really like it much. I don't really like cartoon stuff full stop. I prefer stuff with real people in it.

I just don't like anime. The whole style creeps me out. Huge eyes, weird expressions, spiky, unnatural hair... Eurgh!

I don't really like that style either, not all anime is like that besides you can do more with an animation than you could ever do with a live-action show

That's so cool! Ever made red bean buns?
Was anyone else on the old DAB forum, circa 2009? I was recently reminded of it, lol.

Bitterly jittery, and not very glittery.

*Wonders where the cozy topic went.*
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.
