There comes a point when anything more becomes nothing but that... more.
For the average home user - the current technology is already over kill. 3.4 gigs of CPU power for word processing and watching a few video clips? Yeah, gaming is demending, but even then with the right machine you can only benefit so much before you're just wasting money.
It's like people who run in 32 bit colors. Sorry, but the human eye cannot differentiate between 16 million and 32 million different colors... so why they run in 32 bit? Do they *really* see a better quality of picture, or just think they do?
Really, at the moment, the only device I am looking forward to is an affordable solid state HD. As you know the HD is only device that uses moving parts, and thus is the slowest component in your machine (barring the CD / floppy drives).
Other than that, right now, super fast technology (in a home PC) is just over kill. At least IMHO.
Although that was a pretty cool article.
