Digital electronics was my field Ash. When I worked for Racal, I did the digital control and the really clever guys did the radio frequency stuff.

I could wax lyrical about 74LS-series TTL, but there’s probably more power in a couple of pixels on the screen of my iPhone than the 8- and 16-bit microprocessors that we had in the 80s.

Rabbit-hole fact (just Googled it):
iPhone 12: 11 Terra FLOPS*
Cray2 supercomputer (1980s): 1.9 Billion FLOPS
NASA Apollo 11 guidance computer: 12,250 FLOPS

Gosh.

* Floating Point Operations per Second - a generally accepted measure of computing power.
