You know..some day this might be true. I have been hearing the "computers
are so fast it does not matter anymore" story for at least 10 years now...
But until I can
Boot my OS in less than 3 seconds.
Launch any application at random in the sub 100msec range
Ecode and burn a 2 hour MPEG DVD in 3-4 seconds.
Perform complicated embedded DSP algorithms in 10% of a CPU running on 100
Mwatts
I am not going to believe it.
Everything (and yes I mean everything) still runs slower than I'd like. And
with the next generation of kids
growing up feeling that instant gratitification takes too long, I suspect we
still have a few years before anything other
than a "guess want number" game runs fast enough.
