You might want to add (2004) to the title.

I didn't even notice until I got to the part that explained how modern computers had 0.5G memory and 40G hard disks.

"... I didn't even notice ..."

The date is on the top of the article but maybe I should amend the title.

The writing in The Economist is awesome; many magazines would struggle to convey programming, compiling, and machine code to a general audience.
