We start with Moore’s Law, which states (roughly) that the number of transistors which can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. In other words, electronics component density will allow computers to double their efficiency to size ratio every two years. This means that devices can keep getting smaller, and that devices [...]
“The web as a platform”. That’s the mantra you’ve been hearing a lot about, applied to cloud computing. The idea behind cloud computing is basically to take all the computer that you have in front of you and condense it down to an operating system running a web browser, with everything else coming through the [...]

The progress of technology development has taught us one thing: evolution is ruthless. Thousands of devices, software systems, consoles, and gadgets have come and gone, only a few of them see any kind of mass adoption. And sometimes when they see mass adoption, they go extinct anyway.
