The point of diminishing returns is already here

The point of diminishing returns is well before we think it is. What is the point of a crazy fast computer when most of what you do is send messages to people and read text? We were able to download and watch videos on our computer 15 years ago and were only limited by internet speed. Now we have it all and we want more for some reason.
