I often have similar concerns when writing code. Then I remember that "normal" applications send the query over the network to another continent, where a server has to query a HUGE database, and relay the result back.

It's amazing how we have such powerful devices, but are so accustomed to underestimating their capacity.

Agreed, wish that more software made use of local databases and storing more data client-side.

Yes it takes more space, but phones can affordably be configured with 256GB and laptops with multiple TB of high speed storage nowadays.
