It truly is extraordinary when you think about it. But dont think this trend is likely to carry forward. Technology growth is logarithmic, not exponential. It starts off exponential then slows down significantly. At least, thats what the trend looks like when you really break it down. Lets hope some new area of technology never before considered is discovered to keep it going.

@freemo I've always thought of it as steps with a slight incline between them
@freemo Modern computing was one massive leap, and atm I see things being on an incline. There's definitely improvements being made continuously, but nothing as "groundbreaking" as the first modern computing device.
Not to say that current advances in computing aren't amazing in their own right. Hence, steps with inclines between them.

@denza252 In one persons lifetime we went from having no real concept of "memory" other than encoding 1's and 0's as waves in a pool of liquid (we are talking double digit bits of memory) to having tens of gigabytes of memory... The leaps have been huge :)
