will we one day laugh at how slow computers are now?

Eventually, we will as humanity progresses - provided we dont destroy ourselves before that would happen. Compare current computers to the first computers and think about how people would respond if you took your phone back in time to show people. We'd laugh at their computers.

This February, he spent $8,700 on a Falcon Northwest gaming box, with a 3.2-GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1GB of memory, a 256MB ATI Radeon 9800 XT graphics card, and a pair of 250GB, 7,200-rpm hard drives.

Now, 500GB of hard drive space is a tad excessive; a 160GB hard drive is adequate.

Pfft. My computer loads most programs in the same time it takes me to click on them (near instantly).

 

Quantum Computing looks cool!

I'll probably be laughing at my 7950's performance in less than 5 years. Tech changes in the blink of the eye. That's why I love it so much. There will always be something new to buy and toy around with.

Yes.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I give humanity another 120-250 years.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

i was reading an article here:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1600349,00.asp

and it talks about a coputer that makes me laugh at how slow it is. what do you think?

 

of course we will , the moble phone is a more powerfull computer than the one that was used to put man on the moon.  desktop pc's in 10  to 15 years time may likely be dead at consumer level , once you can plug a exsternal GPU into a laptop there will be almost no reson for even a gamer to buy a desktop computer.

We are well into diminishing returns in hardware progression. Every new generation of hardware is now an inch forward compared to 5+ years ago when every new iteration was a leap. (Remember going from 486 DX2 processors to Pentium?)

 

There will never be a 'leap' again in traditional computing. For a leap to happen, computers as a whole need complete rethinking.

Wow and that was only 2004. Well a good 9 years has brought us far.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

The leap from 486dx2 to pentium wasn't that much at all at first, until a few years after the pentium came out when the P133 and higher clocked chips came out. A P60-P75 was hardly better than a DX2 66 or DX4 75

Old shit no one cares about but me.
