Which was more revolutionary ?
 
 

 
 
 

 

Hi,
 
Probably the flight ... since the whole computing age, is still young and will need a few more years. Flying now is in its 100 years ... so we should know better about computers in another 50 or so.
 
As of right now, I would say flying ... but computers are a close 2nd. I would think that the ability to add a "keyboard" to what was a synthesizer in the 1950's would be much more important than the Commodore was, since it was really a culmination, or a gathering of a lot of previous details and things put together. 
 
The airplane, by comparison, had its dream origins way back way over one, two or three thousand years ago. Even Leonardo thought something like it would happen. 

Hi,
(sorry ... dupe for some reason!)

Are you saying the Commode 64 was the navigation system for the Wright Brother's first airplane?
 
Cool.

 
 
It depends...
 
 
I shouldn't imagine The Flyer would be much use if you needed to work out the cubed root of 57,918.

But you could certainly get "high" with it.
 
It's multi functional.

Shouldn't Straummy be chuggin' on a geeter right now?
 

 
 
One time I cubed rooted so hard I couldn't sit down for 9 days and 5 hours

Typical

I don't know if the C64 would be the best example but I would say the computer has been responsible for a larger intrinsic societal shift than the airplane. To extend it out, the first powered flight gives us Fedex and the Space Age. The first commercially available computer gives us the smartphone and the Information Age.
 
The grid is much deeper than the runway.
