Is it though? I mean, it ostensibly is, at least on paper. Not so much in practice, though.
Maybe there is a cycle of expansion and contraction? In the 50s-80s we've pushed tech across all domains as far as we could, doing miracles. Then it got all scaled back in an attempt to optimize the most common use cases to be cheaper. If so, I can't wait for the next expansion phase.
