Are 400 time more powerful than the computer that helped guide man to the moon.The moon has wi-fi! it comes all the way from earth beamed by 4 infrared telescopes. what do the 1969 computer used for the moon landing and your cell phone have in common? both today phones and the 1969 apollo guidance computer (agc) use integrated circuits or microchips. The agc was one of the first computers to use them. since then microchips keep getting smaller but more and more powerful. The microchip inside your (called a sim) runs about 30 times faster than the agc and has about 200 times more memory- even though it about the size of your fingernail.
