Its always fun to talk about what’s around the corner. In large part, it’s what I like to do here, playing armchair quarterback, pretending that I get to make the decisions that shape my world. The best part about writing it down is looking back on it and checking your track record.
Growing up in the 1980s, with the rapid evolution of personal computers in the home, was a lot of fun. It was so neat to play games as they evolved on the Vic-20, Commodore 64, Amigas, PCs. Where would it end? If you had asked me then what my next computer would be like, I would have said it will have better sound, better graphics, and would capable of more elaborate games. One of these days, I’ll post papers that I wrote (in WordPerfect!) for various classes to illustrate what I was thinking at the time. Like most, I could only think of Harder/Better/Faster/Stronger versions of what I had already.
