Moore's Law in action below.

In the history of mankind (5,000 years ago or 5 billion, whatever you believe) hard to point out technical march that rivals this one (and this chart is OLD too).

And if you believe quantum computing is coming (I do and know people working on it), there's way more headroom on this chart.
