In terms of the hardware you hold in your hand, you&#x27;re right. Progress is slowing down as the challenges to moving forwards become harder to solve, and as the reasons to move forwards change (e.g. power consumption over raw speed).<p>However, in terms of the accessible hardware I think we already have that practically limitless supercomputing power in our hands. The paradigm shift is in the realisation that &quot;your computer&quot; is a device that computes things, regardless of <i>where</i> it computes things, rather than being the beige box in the corner. With a little code and enough cash I can access <i>millions</i> of CPUs and <i>terabytes</i> of RAM from my phone. The fact that computing power isn&#x27;t actually in my phone doesn&#x27;t matter in the least.<p>The computing revolution is the network, not the CPU.
