    Why? Were we incapable of using computers 10-14 years ago when 2-8gb were standard? 16 gigabyte computer to log into email, instagram, and facebook. Give me a break.

      LOL are you serious?

      I dunno about you but I’m not running a 10+ year old OS, nor 10+ year old software. You may not have noticed but times have changed…

        Yeah, now every “desktop app” is a shitty website that bundles its own copy of chromium. Progress!

        2016: most people just do some web browsing, videos, and documents.

        But I like your take. You’re right. Software should linearly get bloated and slower as a function based on time.

          LOL web browsing and videos are both very different than they were 10 years ago, for the aforementioned reasons. I didn’t say anything about what “should” happen, this is just reality.
