IBM claims to have made a new battery design that is environment friendly

[Daniele 00]

You are debating what is increasing is it hardwar or software. Most laptop batteries last only hour or two in the 2000s if you where lucky had only 512MB of RAM if you where lucky and tarrable display screen. The laptop was very think and you could not play games on the laptop not even classic Doom of 90s.

After year the battery will last under a hour. No one back than used laptop computer has netbook it was desktop always hooked up to power source.

But computers today are slower than computers in the 80s and 90s becuase programing code. Look at YouTube videos on Windows 3.1 boot up time. It would boot up in less than minute.

You where lucky to have 16 MB of RAM using Windows 95 and could go on the Internet and read web pages. Now days modern browsers are bloated because no one uses plain HTML but scrips, Java scrips,CSS so on.

Back than you could know nothing about programing and get book On HTML and make web site in day. Now days you can go to school for 30 years just understanding Internet programing and you will hardly scratch the surface.

Back in 80s and even in 90s every thing could be open source and you could read it. Now days if every thing was open source and you where expert there would be more days in human life time to read the code. You need team of people to read the code becuase there just too much code than days in human life to to read it.

Windows vista had some thing like 16,000 line of code. I hate to know what Windows 10 would be in 10 years from now.

Computers where faster in 80s and 90s becuase programmers had to write code for the hardware. Now days programmers don't even need to know what is RAM or CPU stands for that alone what is and does.

Now days we have code that tells code how to talk to it. You have programing code that understands and make sense of the programmer code and programs for the hardware. This is why you open up 8 tabs in Firefox and all your 4GB of RAM is used up. But I can open up 8 tabs in palemoon browser and only 20 to 30% is used up of the 4GB of RAM.

Because modern code is bloated today. What is hepening is hardware makers are getting better every year but software just uses what we through at it.

That is why if everyone on earth gone to store and get 128 of RAM by next month Firefox will need 128 RAM becuase internet get more bloated and more programming code. And one tab will take up 16 of RAM.

Windows 10 has so much programing code that it getting harder to just program for Windows 10 every year. The last update took 4 updates just to fix update.

Things are not getting better but worse. I'm surprise you get even 5 muntues of battery life today with so much bloat.

Thank you. This is my belief too. The advancment in battery just cant keep up with the consume of energy in phones. Except they will do a major breakthrough, the phone users will always feels like battery life got worst over time, not better. And this is not a fault of these persons who try to improve battery life, but of bad programming. Why is that so? I remember at university prof teaches how to program to minimize the numbers of cycles of the cpu. But I have abandon to be a programmer in my life. So I like to ear from somebody who is programmer: Is it the fault of programmers who just cant program nowdays? or what?

Google: How many lines of code did Windows Vista have?
50 million

Comments like this really grinds my gears. Let's see how long an iPhone lasts on a battery with the energy density of an old Nokia battery. Anyone remember how bad battery life on old smartphones was? You turned the screen on for only as long as you needed to and even then, you most likely ran at low brightness.

Now people play games for hours a day on their phones while at Max brightness and only need to charge them at night. But, somehow, battery tech hasn't improved at all.

Yeah....right....

Battery tech has been improving and energy density has more than doubled in the last 10 years. The problem you guys are having is that manufacturers use higher energy density to shrink the battery because everyone wants a thinner phone.

Essentially, it's the consumers fault we don't notice these improvements because people want thinner phones over better battery life. Then we have to listen to people whine about "O, wyh mi b8ry tec knot improving."

Actually it's more the fact that devices are more efficient..

I will not downplay efficiency one bit, but do have something to contribute?
