I actually wanted to reply to the downstream comment, but it didn't give me a Reply link for some reason.

In any case, I've absolutely noticed how even a Raspberry Pi Zero, taken back 40 years, would be a supercomputer beyond anything that money could buy back then.

A GPU that we'd consider obsolescent today would be truly insane in 1985.

I occassionally mention to people that we can effectively have a supercomputer from 90s in our home if we so choose, but it that is lost on them since they use it for browsing at best. Tech and knowledge is only as scary as the individual wielding it. Human is the problem.

I bought a detailed book about vectored thrust aircraft at a bookstore in a mall. … just a sec someone is at the door.
