The future of computing is about obstacles of the past

2010, Proceedings of the Decision Sciences Institute

Abstract

What is the future of computing? It is hard to predict. Most often there are disruptive technologies that change the direction, the market and derail a technology plan. So in examining the future of computing, we need to examine where we have been. This is not to say that we are returning to punch cards and 300 baud modems, but examining the obstacles of the past can show us a roadmap of the future and what emerging technologies may look like.
