Why were computers so bad in the 80's compared to modern times?

Asked by flip86 (6213points) September 29th, 2014

Think about it. All computers today run on basically the same tech as they did in the 80’s. The difference is the speed, performance and larger storage. So why then were computers so limited? It seems that these computer companies could have made much better systems than they did.

Planned obsolescence comes to mind.
