A side effect of Moore's Law is that as computing gets more powerful, the things humans do with computing can afford to get sloppier.
Bill Gates famously said "640K is more memory than anyone will ever need on a computer" in the 1980s. We could probably do most of what modern computers do with far less than 32GB of RAM, but that assumes that our software is much more optimized for compact runtime than they are.
