Because progress is mostly done on value and not absolute costs. An IBM XT PC cost $5k in present day dollars back in 1985. Computers today are exponentially better but maintain a modest linear price adjustment. Going back to your post verbatim, super computers today still cost hundreds of millions and need an entire building; the definition of what makes a computer “super” is what evolved, not their cost or other burdens. |
