Grew up in the 50s and 60s. Had a pediatrician who chain-smoked, and had ashtrays all over her office literally overflowing with butts.
That we’ve been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
