Computing the future: Looking at 2016
In the mid 1990s, Amazon and Ebay were not household names, spam referred to a canned meat product, phishing was not in the dictionary, and cell phones were still a bit of a luxury. Technological advances have driven exponential change over the last decade; what will another 10 years of innovation bring?
