Mine still is, I deliberately chose a simple one.  ;-)

There's an old joke going around about someone wishing that their
Windows computer was as easy to use as their phone.  And now their wish
has been granted, but in an "evil genie" style - now their phone is as
hard to use as their computer.


I once heard Tony Hoare say that in the early days the computer was the size of a room and the documentation would fit in your pocket, but now it's the other way round. And that was a good 30 years ago.

But I digress ...
