Doesn't it beg the question that computers aren't fast enough now? We
need to slow down for awhile. We have a technology that as is would be
good for centuries. The only reason people keep pushing on is so they
can get rich.
It's like in a way that the telecoms are sorta right in arguing that
people don't need any more than 12-18 mbps broadband. Faster is nice
but most of the video codecs work well in the 6-10 mbps ranges. VUDU
has the best encoding and it works at 9 mbps and is almost BD quality.
The H265 codec can cut the size of movie from 2 GB to 1 GB. 4K TVs are
also a gimmick to get you to replace that TV you just bought two years
ago. Most people's eyes can't tell the difference. It's like the early
days of hi-fi when companies were bragging about their equipment that
could cover the audio range from 20-20,000 hz. Most people can hear the
extreme ends of that range.

Eventually, the conventional ways of manufacturing silicon chips will
run out of steam. According to Intel researchers speaking at the ISSCC
conference this...
