Did you know that the average smartphone today has more computing power than the computers used during the Apollo 11 moon landing? The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) used by NASA in 1969 had a processing speed of about 0.043 MHz and 2KB of RAM. In comparison, modern smartphones typically have processors that operate at speeds of several gigahertz and RAM capacities ranging from 4GB to 12GB or more. It's amazing to think about how far technology has advanced in just a few decades, enabling us to carry more powerful computers in our pockets than what was used to send humans to the moon!
