Answer:
Key Fob.
Explanation:
On the 5th of September, 1977, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched a spacecraft known as “Voyager 1” to study and explore the outer planets of the solar system.
Additionally, two voyager spacecraft were built for the above mentioned study and exploration exercise; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 2 was actually the first spacecraft while Voyager 1 was launched sixteen (16) days after and was faster.
According to Rich Terrile, the technology they had in the 70’s was similar to a modern day Key Fob that could fit in our pocket because the processing power of the computer chip found in a Key Fob was comparable to the much larger voyager probe (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) of the 70’s, that was tagged an artificial brain.
This ultimately implies that, the computer chip found in a car Key Fob is more powerful and sophisticated than the Voyager probe, even though the Key Fob is smaller but having the same amount of memory.
