1. Performance problems are solved with faster hardware.
2. Software bloat problems are solved with more RAM or disk.
3. Software developers are lazy and rely on points 1 and 2.
When hardware was expensive we needed good assembler programmers to make the most of the hardware. Now we throw more hardware at the software issues.
