Miniaturization Memes

Oh, the absolute AUDACITY of Moore's Law! From needing a literal crane and a squad of people to deliver a room-sized computer in 1957 to casually holding a Raspberry Pi in your palm in 2015 that's probably more powerful than the entire Apollo mission computer. And that pun in the title? *Chef's kiss* – "Moore compact" because Gordon Moore literally predicted this exponential shrinkage would happen! We went from "Sir, your computer has arrived, please clear the entire building" to "Oops, I lost my computer in the couch cushions again." The 1957 beast probably had less computing power than your smart toaster, yet required its own zip code. Meanwhile, that tiny Pi board can run servers, play games, and still has enough juice left to judge your life choices. Technology really said "hold my beer" and then proceeded to violate the laws of physics for 60+ years straight.

That moment when you realize your 2TB NVMe SSD with blazing 7000MB/s transfer speeds is physically smaller than a novelty pencil. Somehow stores 1,000,000+ high-res cat memes while being barely visible to the naked eye. Moore's Law is basically black magic at this point. Your entire Steam library, 50 Docker containers, and three virtual machines fit on something that could get lost in your carpet fibers. Meanwhile, my first computer had a 20MB hard drive the size of a microwave.
