Dont know why but I prefer the 1993 image better!

And no its not because its an Apple device either, typing this on my iMac :)

The PDA in the first picture is just as capable of replacing the laptop as the phone in the second picture.

Awesome days back then, boring days nowadays :D

It is amazing how far we've come in such a short space of time.

I do prefer to keep some of my gadgets separate though and not rely on my phone for everything.

If only I could take a Polaroid with my smart phone.

...

That's not the same type of comparison.

[The Dark Knight]

I personally prefer separate devices. :)

Give it a year or so, Samsung will have an 8" Galaxy Polaris *phone*, which might as well have a slot for polaroid prints :rofl:

Where can I get that fancy looking phone? That antenna must have some great reception...

Indeed it did. Oh wait, I thought you said radiation.

1993 was 20 years ago.. wouldn't surprise me if some of the posters in this thread weren't even born yet. Gawd now I feel ancient. The Polaroids were kinda fun, still got a working One Step somewhere.. now if only I had a time traveling DeLorean so I could get film for it.

That's not the best comparison because that screenshot at least shows Win 3.11 could multi-task. You should have clicked on Desktop, but I get your point.

[firey]

It's about moving forward in the comparisons.. not backwards silly.

[Draconian Guppy]

oooohhh I remember when sony started producing neon colored walkmans and then everyone carried it on their hips!

[Order_66]

If anything those screenshots show how far we have fallen in certain areas.

Shadow Of The Comet, released 1993:

Tomb Raider, released 2013:

[Detection]

I think this is the image you were looking for

Seriously? 3.11 was a borderline useless POS. Even if you hate 8, at least it runs/does everything.

I think you mistook that Apple Newton for an actual useful PDA:

The Newton was very useful. Unlike most paper weights, the Newton was large enough to cover/weight down up to four separate piles of paper at one time.

[HawkMan]

yes, but the iphone is comparatively absolutely useless, it can barely hold down two pieces of paper :)

[+virtorio MVC]

No, you're just piling your papers wrong.
