Yes I like that clip, so true...
I played with a computer that had 1 kb (1024 bytes) of memory. (about two weeks wage)
About 30 years later I was selling a 1Gb (1 thousand times) Memory Stick for $1100 (RRP $1299)
Now for $100 or less you can buy a 1 Terabyte ...(another 1000x leap) and at 10x less

I have noticed too how very little seem to impress anyone.
It tends to be that if people don't see an immediate gain for themselves they don't care.
For example I am not just about to buy a 4k , 4mm thick (well thin) 80" panel , nevertheless it is amazing that you can.

For us of late there have been a couple of similar technologies developed to add some waterproofness to down.
(yes down is somewhat waterproof raw, but it does need to be washed , same reason we treat wool)
However rather than spotting the possible benefits many have adopted the "so what" attitude.
