Memory usage has definitely stalled over the last decade as more applications move to the web or mobile devices.

There's just nothing driving most people to have more than 8/16GB of RAM and even photo/video editing has been shown to be a breeze on the 8GB MacBook Air.

I wouldn't be surprised to see laptops move to soldered RAM and SSDs.

I beg you to look at memory consumption of those "lightweight" web apps
