we are three years overdue for a shift, and I don’t mean to arm. Is there just no point to it? 128 bit computing is a thing and has been in the talks since 1976 according to Wikipedia. Why hasn’t it been widely adopted by now?
Technology moves at an exponential pace. The time it took to go from 8 bit to 16 bit to 32 bit to 64 bit got shorter and shorter.
