There's nothing in computing that can't be broken by another level of indirection.
Fairly cheap home computing was what changed my life.
Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. Whatever big problem you can imagine, from world peace to the environment to hunger to poverty, the solution always includes education,. . . We need to depend more on peer-to-peer and self-driven learning. The laptop is one important means of doing that.
I really never wanted to do source control management at all and felt that it was just about the least interesting thing in the computing world.
The interesting thing about cloud computing is that we've redefined cloud computing to include everything that we already do. I can't think of anything that isn't cloud computing with all of these announcements.
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.
