this is his 4th computer

A thin man with a pointed beard loved honeysuckle. He had some honeysuckle trees in an orchard across a huge river. He built a boat and used it to cross the river. The fruits were good. He ate some and sold the rest.
...
10 years later, the boat showed signs of age. He built a new boat. Life was good again.

1 millennium, 6 century and 5 decades later, a very smart man told us how to create a very smart machine. One machine which can do everything. Of course, the machine needed sophisticated instructions but there were a lot of people who can figure out the right instructions for any operation.

6 decades later. A company that sells computers made a wonderful laptop. A fat man who earns a lot of money bought one. The laptop performed top-notch, looked solid and meant business. He was happy.
...
2 years later, the computer slowed down. He bought a new one. The one felt as fast as the old one when he had bought it. He considered the purchase a terribly insightful investment.

200 years later. A group of bespectacled visionaries will figure out every detail of how our body works. A lot of companies will appear who will promise a live-long and live-happy life. "Don't like your middle ear? Here, we will replace it with a machine. 1-day money back guarantee". You can hear a lot in 1 day, so everyone will be satisfied. A young rich business couple will modify themselves to become what they want. They will get married. They will make it to the news as the first perfect couple.
...
7 days later, the man will get bored of his wife. He will find her pose unexciting and her actions banal. He will find a new woman for a huge sum of money.
...
After uranium, monitors and PCBs, the world will face the challenge of a new type of landfill: people.
