Pop started working with computers in 1961. They managed to process all of the USAF's Tactical Air Command payroll with 4k memory. Just like people who waste energy because it's cheap. People waste computing power because it's cheap. Apollo could get to the Moon on a limited amount of computational capacity because weight and space was at a super premium, with price secondary. We used to develop technology in the space program that made us leaders in many fields.
No we just suck, ignore new tech and wait for our dole, like the citizens of Rome waiting for their bread.
