I think people's perception of "computer" is not advancing alongside technology increases.

Everyone arguing about "Moore's Law" is always focusing on the individual PC as their target for investigation while computational power is still rapidly increasing. Its in a much more distributed fashion than the times of yore & Moore. Focusing on individual devices is pointless. Soon we're liable to be computing on glorified screens with hardly any graphics processing capabilities or computation capabilities and it will all happen somewhere far away.

Look at the overall network, the vast array of servers and clouds and the massive computational power of our planet- its skyrocketing at a breakneck pace. Who cares about transistor size, cpu speed, all that shit when in 5 seconds of interfacing with the internet you're liable to pull data from 5,000 different sources with an astronomical number of data points.
