I think a part of this is that we hit a bottleneck on human data absorption. There's lots of real and hypothetical media formats (like VR) that won't run on a 2009 computer. But so long as you've got your email and websites and video, your machine is still perfectly useful. New computers are doing all those same things. But I remember when the concept of a video running on a computer was just wild.
