In what kind of bizarro world do we live that 8GB of RAM in a phone is not enough? Also 6G is currently expected to be available around 2030, so 5G will most likely still work in 2031.

After Napoleon, European leaders were so afraid of war between great powers that they avoided it for 100 years.

What kind of bullshit is this? The napoleonic wars were over in 1815. In 1866 there war the austro-prussian war, in 1870 the franco-german war. That's barely 50 years, and those wars are just those I remember from history class. I'm sure there were more in between. Or are we talking Napoleon III who was deposed in the franco-german war in 1870? Well I'm pretty sure in the 100 years since then Napoleon there were some even bigger wars.
