Might as well change the date from 2014 to 2017. If anything technology has become even more minimalist over the last three years (and will probably continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.)

The trope is TruthInTelevision as of 2014 in the realm of electronics, due to a previously ignored factor. Not computing power or design, they were both there [[TurnOfTheMillennium as of 2000]], but reduced energy consumption of electronic devices. Once the energy-sipping [=ARM=] chips came [[TheNewTens around 2010]] and broadband data connection cheapened itself to peanuts, there was almost no incentive to use power hungry systems, optical disk storage, external [=HDDs=], noisy desktop fans, bundles of cables for data and power. [[EverythingIsOnline Cloud storage]] for unimportant, but space-hungry data like film or photos, small handheld devices like tablet computers or smartphones instead of laptops, Bluetooth accessories like speakers, keyboards or even desktop printers were the hallmarks of a less "dirty" age of computers. Chips with no cooling requirements could fit anywhere, in tablets, smart-[=TV=]s, embedded devices, while the economies of scale dropped their price to be affordable to everyone. Therefore the jaunt from "better, faster, computers" to "similar performance, but less power hungry" had the effect of [[TheSingularity a soft singularity]].
