Sounds like cars and software have been on an identical evolutionary path.  I 
am the 5th of 6 kids, the 8 of us used to drive around in an old british 
station wagon (a much smaller car than north american wagons), 2 youngest in 
the trunk.

These days that old wagon we had would almost be too small for 2 people, let 
alone 4 (now we need SUVs or minivans for the solo commutes to work).  The 
comforts in vehicles have certainly increased though ... like seats for kids 
5 and 6 ;-)
