i have a lenovo u310. it's too big for my taste, considering it is a 13.3" that is the size of a 14.1" .. but it's a decent laptop.

I believe hardware advancement has not slowed down, but the public's demand for powerful PCs has dropped. An average user may only need to check email, browse webs, type letters and print photos. A 2 years' old mid tier machine could handle those tasks with ease.

There is no real need to upgrade their PCs, but at the same time, they are more willing to buy an expensive smartphone which costs as much, if not more.

CPU are still improving as fast as they did 10 years ago, there are some issues with smaller fab process, some delays to move to 20nm and 14nm but all solved now but the same time right now the best improvement are made in the architectural aspect, and efficiency rather than just only relaying on downsizing and cramming more transistors on a small silicon chip

certain sectors have. CPUs are improving, but not nearly at the same rate they were say.. 10 years ago. it's getting closer and closer to the plateau. RAM has been getting cheaper, but DDR3's been around for a while. SSDs are the new thiing, but imo not quite worth it yet. top of the line video cards from 3 years ago are still usable today. i remember buying a geforce 1 in 2000 and it didn't last me very long.
I bought my card 2 years ago and with this resolution it is pretty much useless (I've bought a new one recently). The plateau on silicon yes. Wait for graphene or something similar. DDR4 coming, 14nm CPUs coming too.

seems like computer technology has slowed down significantly. if you bought a mid level computer 2 years ago, it's still very much serviceable today.
Slowed down? Not really. Try using that computer on a UHD monitor.

Are there only two operating systems on the world?  Cheesy
This is a bit off topic here but okay. Windows being the most adopted OS, Linux is much better but a bit harder to use. People can use Ubuntu or any other OS based off of Linux (they are easier).
Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems

that's not what i heard.  i heard windows was better
No it is not. There is even a whole website on why Linux is better.

I was wondering that what kind of computers do you have?

I have just shitty laptop:
-1.40GHz
-4 Gb DDR3
-465 Gb hard drive
-Intel HD Graphics

But it is ok for my use, only thing I want badly is better screen.

shitty laptop FTW

Intel Dual core 2.16 Ghz
3 GB
Radeon HD 4300

The only shitty laptops are those who run Windows.
