Isoquantic Shift - The Third Age Of Computing
J.C. Dvorak · 2005
The more things change, the more they stay the same. While people on the outside of the computer industry see things as rapidly changing, people inside recognize that the change is more paced and completely based on Moore’s law. This actually makes it easy to extrapolate the future based on known developments and trends. Dvorak, in his talk, will outline the next generation computer, how we get there from here and what it means to developers. In the process, Dvorak will outline the history of computers and the phases in which each “Computer Age” goes through time after time. Commonalties from Age to age become ever apparent and obviously repetitious, making it easy to find your place in the current age and easy to determine what comes next.
