- nickpeterson 11y agoDecent history but I disagree with the basic premise that normalization is less necessary because computers are more powerful. It implies normalization was for storage conservation instead of logical reasons.
- GregQuinn 11y agoAbsolutely this. While reduced data storage may have been a beneficial side effect the real driver was update consistency.
