Like, in the way of having blue jeans we had them, but it wouldn’t meaninfully add to the situation you know? I was in grade school at the time and we had one room with computers in it, they were outdated and used to do math programs. I fucking loved number munches but that was just a toy you know?
Agree to disagree, I suppose. Ubiquity builds a base of familiarity that makes it easier to attract new workers. The first domino that led to me becoming a programmer was playing Super Nintendo as a kid. It also implies well-established fabrication ability, which implies a solid base of machinery and technical expertise.
The USSR had around 10000 computers at a time when the US had over 1 million.
