Perhaps if we scaled time by Moore's law. :) In that case, the distance from 1979 to 1997 is much longer than 1997 to 2022.

- forinti 4y agoThe 80s were crazy. In 1981 you got a ZX81 with 1KB of RAM. In 1985 the Amiga came out. Then in the late 90s I remember RAM doubling every year. From about 2010 onwards, things have gotten slower.
- sbf501 4y agoI was looking it at from the product point of view. The time between the 8088, 286, 386, 486, Pentium spans nearly two decades. Now intel churns out a dozen new SKUs a year. Granted they are all variations on the same silicon as the process improves, but it is far more accelerated than in the past.
