NO - you can actually make things more efficient. A computer used to fill an entire warehouse and it wasn't as fast as calculator. Should we ASSUme that it would take two warehouses to make something as fast as a calculator?
By studying what others have accomplished we can make things better. We can improve efficiency - lightbulbs, windturbines, solar cells, batteries etc etc etc.
Those who don't study the past are doomed to be idiots.
I've worked in software development and have seen how some very simple code modifications improved efficiency and speed by 400% - no new hardware required- actually used less bandwidth as well.

I agree with you completely.
