Will Computing Hit a Power Wall?

Yes, present day computer systems will hit a wall, but there is a work-around that has been well known for many years. The solution is to un-bloat the software. Huge operating systems that offer hundreds of options to everyone are a huge waste. The solution is clearly to utilize much more compact software, starting with the OS, and then continue to programs that have fewer options. This should easily double operation speeds while needing no more hardware capabilities.

Of course, it would spell doom for the large purveyors of bloatware, so it would be reasonable to anticipate a large push-back. But we know it is coming, and so we could resist it.
