"64 Megabytes of RAM, and it only cost five million dollars to build! Our prototype is the most powerful supercomputer in the country, and Uncle Sam wants to buy 50 more of them!"

Created for a daily challenge. We were supposed to show what our ancestors thought the world would look like in 2025. I decided to concentrate on the computer side of things. In the 19th Century, people would have expected a futuristic "mechanical brain" to take up a great deal of space, and they would have thought 64 MB of RAM sounded like science fiction. So I went for a steampunk-style approach regarding what my ancestors, a couple of hundred years ago, might have dared to imagine as someday being state-of-the-art.
