The Computer of 2010
from the designed-by-Forbes? dept
Forbes ASAP has tried to design the computer of 2010. It's definitely worth reading about, but I have to wonder why a magazine such as Forbes feels they can create this computer. It will be fun to look back in 10 years and see how accurate they were, though. Also, the problem with any of these predictions is that they tend to be linear. They take what's going on now (and maybe a few experimental things) and extrapolate into the future. There's no way to account for some huge change that makes all those other things seem obsolete. Then again, to be honest, computers really have not changed all that bunch between 1990 and now.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
