Yes duuuuuude! Imagine your computer in 2000. Then your computer in 2010. (Night and day difference. Otherworldly.) Then your computer in 2020. (Pretty much the same, maybe with more LEDs. Hell, maybe even slower core speeds.) As someone used to charting the passage of time and culture on the exponential curve of tech, it feels like everything's frozen as tech has plateaued. A South Park episode from 10 years ago is 1080p, the same as an episode from today. You can't even tell it's from 10 years ago! A South Park episode from 2000, though, looks like ass, so it's obvious. Parallel compute (GPUs) and memory capacity are still getting better, unlocking the shortcut-AI that is ML. Network speeds are also getting better, allowing us to stream and not own anything and be even more value extracted by companies' products. That's all neat.
