As the initial new technologies improved, the programs that took advantage of them improved, too. Nothing, however, really changed except code size and the look of the programs. The first hard drive designed specifically for the desktop computing market was 5 megabytes. People were amazed at its speed. Now a hard drive can be 30 gigabytes and more.
People are amazed at the speed, but it does the same thing as before.
And if all we can do between 5MB and 30GB is come up with one or two piddling new uses, then I'd hardly celebrate it. The same holds true for the processor itself. I would not call this an application, it's a tweak. A major tweak for sure, but still a tweak. It's hardly anything to rave about after decades of waiting.
