Not only advances in hardware affect what computers can do. Advances in software let computers do more things, but we can't count those when considering automating all software development, it wouldn't make sense. But there are advances in the capabilities of computers that are neither hardware developments nor the job of software developers, namely business/legal and theoretical advancements.

So some new "things computers can do" from the last 20 years:

- Fit in our pockets

- Communicate wirelessly between any two major population centers on the planet, with high bandwidth

- Store exabytes of data

- Do excellent pattern-matching of all sorts of data

- Be close to your customers, wherever they are on the planet, without you needing to have a ton of capital upfront

- Cost as little as $7 while still being compatible with our complex software stacks

- Be powerful enough to run an Electron application

- Monitor your blood glucose levels and deliver the right amount of insulin in real time
