Well let's examine that one.

I've only ever seen a PS3 in action once. I was using it to play a game 
called "Call of Duty 4". Never heard of the game, but it looks amazing. 
Only 10 years ago, a game like this would have been impossible. There 
wasn't a computer on Earth powerful enough to run it. It's quite 
impressive that it can even be done today, frankly.

On the other hand, Word just makes text appear on a screen, and lets you 
edit it. (And change fonts and styles.) That was possible 20 years ago. 
So why does it suddenly require so much hardware to achieve the same 
thing as before? It's not like Word has any significant new features or 
anything...
