Tomorrow I’ll be…

by tpalmer . Updated 25 years ago

Tomorrow may be one of the best examples about how you can plan for something and never realize it (because it becomes today!).
Ten years ago much discussion concerning technology was centered around the inevitable evolution of comupters and software towards self-management. This was to include software life-cycle, hardware upgrades and failed component replacement all intended to spare humans the burden of the machines we have created.
Scientific American is reporting development efforts inCPU design that are resulting in approaching petaflops speed ratings. At billions of processes completed per second, is self-programing really that hard to imagine? Scotty says, “Computer! Redesign user input screen 24 for session 82 for new operator. Take an extra second if you need to!”

Let me hear your take on the future. Sci-fi or fiction? Still think you don’t need more training? Which new tech do you think will sprout money? I am pulling for intelligent wireless devices that service the monlithic machines that free us to do other things!
