gollark: It's not Moore's law. That's transistor count, and is allegedly maybe continuing.
gollark: We get ~5-10% a year at least, which is *okay*.
gollark: Also, this person seems to just be complaining about computer speed increases being slower?
gollark: computers goodnot computers bad
gollark: Expanding on what I previously said, you can already pay for a commercial suborbital flight these days, and space travel is cheapening, so maybe by 2030 you'll be able to travel between continents by rocket in an hour or so by commercial suborbital rocket for... a million dollars or so.People will inevitably complain about this, too.
