Quite right. I was trying to keep a post that was already too long from
getting longer. Obviously I meant that we are seeing a rate of growth
in computing performance that when plotted on an exponential graph, is
not a straight line, but an accelerating curve. My point is that even
ignoring the growth in the rate of growth, we will have extraordinarily
powerful computers available for very little money 50 to 100 years from
now.
Since you chose to pick on my "linear increase", I take it you disagree
with my basic premise that we will have stunningly powerful and
inexpensive computers available 50 to 100 years from now?
