Once electric power stops being the limiting factor for home tasks, further growth doesn't change your life much. Similarly with computing power: your PC is probably idling most of the time. The interesting question is, what's the limiting factor now?
- donaq 17y agoOTOH, we now have programs routinely run in homes (e.g. games) that occasionally require computing power orders of magnitude higher than what was available ten years ago. I expect that if we have orders of magnitude more power deliverable to our homes, innovative people will find uses for them.
