This is a photo of the Memory Module used on the Saturn V launch rocket. The module on the left has 14 of the memory 'array chips' on the right. The thing is, each of those ferrite core wire arrays only has 1024 bits of memory available. That's just one kilobyte - and it's about the size of my phone. Technology has come a long way in just 50 years, imagine what the next 50 will bring.
