Hm, the future of tech.
In computers I really hope that solid-state storage becomes affordable and wide spread soon. This mechanical hard drive stuff just doesn't agree with me (as somebody who has one that's in the middle of fizzing out as I type this)
Another interesting thing to consider about computers is that it seems like upgrades are less and less necessary, almost like we're going to level off in terms of what is required to compute (while at the same time the ceiling still rises, for the sake of enthusiasts who will be able to get faster and faster machines without requirements catching up). I mean, if you bought a computer in 1995 it was pretty much unusable five years later, even with upgrades, whereas my desktop is pushing 5 right now and is still completely usable and I'm not in any dire need to buy something new. Heck, I have an 8 year old laptop and it's happily chugging along, fully up to date Windows XP, able to do everything I need in my everyday computing life.
