Nanotechnology and Search are Ignored Part of Computing Future
July 30, 2013
The future of computing is here! That’s because it looks like the future of computing is the same as its past twenty years. Everywhere we see people talking about innovation, they seem to be missing some key instruments that will likely be shaping our next computing decade. Such was the case with a recent Fred Wu article, “The Future of Computer Programmers – An Interview with Yukihiro ‘Mats’ Matsumoto.”
According to Matsumoto:
“I believe in the foreseeable future the computing industry is still going to advance based on Moore’s law. Although, it is possible that in the next year or two quantum computers become a practical reality, in that case it will change everything! *chuckles* On a serious note, according to Moore’s law, the cost of computing will decrease and the performance and capacity of computing will increase – this basic principle is unlikely to change.“
Sorry, but cheaper computers isn’t a revelation. Nobody ever seems to focus on how nanotechnology and search will undoubtedly reshuffle the deck. Probably because A) it’s hard to determine just how radical of a shift we will see; B) these both teeter on privacy issue that have been so thorny. We can only hope journalists stop burying their head in the sand about the real future.
