At 2:30 in the morning, damm time zones. Have fun guys, would love to attend this hack but i am workin tomorrow.

Jeremie and I had a real great time going through these magazines. I'm blown away by how similar the world was as it is now.

Computers follow Moore’s law and robots follow snores law.

Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years.

Snores law is the observation that the number of skills in a sophisticated autonomous robot doubles about every twenty years.

LOL yah - that's about right. Although we went from 0 to 601 robot skills in 5 years. That's not bad! I'd have to run a report for growth but I think it's a bit bumpy

I'm obsessed with these robot magazines - it's inspired me to start a blog series!

Fun with the past! YA! Thanks!!

Yah dave - it was a blast. Jeremie and I didn't leave the office until close to 2:00 AM because we were learning a lot. I know it's a long video and could use a trim to extract the highlights, but the articles and content did deserve our full attention. Just amazing to see how far we've come and how far we haven't

No, no need to trim. Every minute was enjoyable and fascinating. I remember some of those robots and was amazed at how advanced by today's standards some of that stuff was. You're right we really haven't come a long way. I think the biggest leap we've made is making robotics more accessible and doable to the common person. We all know that's thanks to you and your ingenuity. I'm not sucking up here just being honest.

Ya DJ, it was amazing to see all those retro robots I wanted to own when I was a kid, That RB5X was actually at a mall near me when I was a kid and I dragged my Dad in the store begging him to buy it for me, The guy had it on demo mode with talking and moving around! OF course the price was way to high and never did get it.
