Computers will change our lives more in the next 10 years than they have in the last 20. Not only are people relying on them for more of the things they do every day, but the pace of computing innovation has never been faster. Processing power continues to advance, according to Moore's Law, while network bandwidth, wireless, storage and graphics capabilities are growing at even faster rates. This is revolutionizing how we live. Many of the things we use every day--from entertainment systems and telephones to kitchen appliances and even wristwatches--are morphing into computers capable of communicating with PCs or any other computerized device in our homes. The result is that computers are becoming so ubiquitous, they are literally disappearing into the fabric of our lives--and becoming so intuitive to use that we hardly notice them.
