I too am a nostalgic old guy
Played with a TRS-80 in high school
Programmed with punch cards in my first FORTRAN class into a big mainframe
Now got that mainframe in a CPU in my 799 laptop, and information nobody could imagine at my fingertips. Oh, got that orginal IBM PC in my garage somewhere too.
Its been a glorious 3 decades of Moore's law as we've gone from 10000nm to 45nm dimensions that make it all possible.
When it will end nobody exactly knows, but between the economics and the physics its getting close.
Seriously we got more megapixles, gigbytes, gigherz, and cores then we really practically need but since they get cheaper and cheaper we gobble them up. At somepoint their incremental value will become less and less and the whole industry and progress will go the way of steel, aluminum, plastics.
