According to this article, one of the first PCs saw the light of day in Canada 30 years ago [the weather was so bad it promptly went back into hibernation]. Even if we look at the mainstream, it is hard to believe the fact that over two decades have passed since the PC was introduced.

Again looking at the capactity of the Intel 8008 microprocessor and comparing it to today makes it clear how impossible it is to extrapolate from the past 30 years into the future 30.
