I remember the Intel 1103 - the first semiconductor RAM chip. It had 1024 bits of memory....so let's do the math....

To get a megabit - we'd need a 1024 chips
To get a megabyte - we'd need 8192 chips
To get a gigabyte - we'd need 8192 x 1024 chips = 8,388,608 chips
If we had a 64 GB iPad then we'd need....

8192 x 1024 x 64 = 536,870,912 Intel 1103 dynamic RAM chips

each chips weighed 10 grams...

So our iPad would weigh at least.....

5,368,709.12 kg....

For those of us who speak American () ... that's about 11,835,977.8 pounds! Or, 5,918 tons! Holy sh...oot!!

Well, that for SURE would prevent me from couch surfing with it!

And just look at the stand you would need for it.......

That would be from the time when a "search engine" wasn't necessarily a "find engine". Things have moved on apace.
