Where are we going? The long-term trends are clear. We're heading
rapidly towards a world of small intelligent wireless devices ... but
not a single type of device.
The first and most important trend is for the computer industry to
engulf and devour everything else. Serious electronic computing
started with ideas such as calculating the trajectories of artillery
shells. Processing numbers took us through stock control and payroll,
then into word processing. Serious graphics that started with
computer-aided design took us through desktop publishing to
photorealistic graphics, desktop video and digital television. Speech
and music were synthesised and digitised along the way.
