Why has humanity failed to innovate in the past decade?
jacquesm: I think it may be that you simply have enough bandwidth to do whatever it is that you want to do, would you be willing to pay a premium to get more ?I have 20Mbps here and 90% of the time I'm under 10% usage.And I consider myself a pretty heavy internet user.Innovation is probably not measured very well by looking at your DSL upload speed.A decade ago your pc would have been running at 3 to 400 MHz tops (single core!), have 32M of ram and maybe a 40G drive (if you had the money).By those measures the price of storage and of processing has come down considerably. (edit: and don't forget the SSD revolution that is about to become true, if you like spinning media have a good look at them because they're about to go extinct).And then there are lots of fields outside computing where we have advanced tremendously in the last decade, one of my favorites is the 'camera pill'.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3606947/But there are plenty of others.
