> The technology gaps are going to take forever to close for two reasons. (...) The secret is that the utility curve of technology is not flat. For example: when processors ran at 4Mhz, doubling the processor speed to 8Mhz had a much different utility value than when they doubled from 1.5Ghz to 3Ghz. As such, even if the technology gap doesn't close, ever, the utility values obtained from each technology will close, to the point of indifference. You can already observe some of this utility curve flattening, if you observe the absence of game changing feature announcements on WWDC and Google I/O.
