Evolution

Count it, it has been over 10 year since my first computer. Moreover, I've over 10GB of RAM in my home spreading over 5 computers. My first computer contains only 4MB vs. now 4GB - a thousand fold! Clock frequency 20 times from 133Mhz to 2.6Ghz. Storage 1.2GB to 1.2TB, another thousand fold! Register length 32-bit to 64-bit; single core to dual core.

What will it be in another 10 years time?
