The RADAR we had in 1965 probably wasn't as good as what you have on

No question about it. It would have taken a whole ship full of
electronics to duplicate the functionality, just like with computer
equipment. The CPU power and storage of our three laptops would have
taken an entire large scale data center, and the high speed data
bandwidth that we now take for granted didn't even exist. I had a few
summer jobs with AT&T during he early '60s and 1200 baud was high
speed datacomm at that time.
