Why do you think that processors have remained at roughly the same clock speed lately?
It's because NSA has been using ever increasing areas of our CPUs for surveillance purposes.
Can we change the Slashdot-icon for Google into the panopticon?
When you're affronted with terror or high emotion, "pipe breathe" and within half a minute, you're in the zone, able to think and react with calm precision to high-stress situations.

The problem is that movie theaters don't show any technological progress.
For instance, where is my holodeck?
Just wait until Quantum Physics turns you into a monkey.
The odds are incredibly small, but the rest of eternity is a long time.
Can't we have something like "net-neutrality" for e-readers and video viewers?
I mean, it is kind of the same principle.
