The good thing about aging is that we don't notice it a lot ourselves as
long as we are healthy. The outside world takes care of keeping us up
to date of course...

Hardware has always been ahead of software and as hardware becomes
faster for the same tasks done 30+ years ago the gap is allowed to
widen - to scary dimensions I would say. But this is how evolution works
I guess, eventually some balance will be reached. Not that we have
that moment in sight as far as I can see.
