What Lies Ahead in
Technology
The cost of computing
power drops roughly 30% every year, and microchips are doubling in performance
power every 18 months.
You give the birthday kid
a Saturn, made by Sega, the gamemaker. It runs on a higher-performance
processor than the original 1976 Cray supercomputer.
Today’s average consumers
wear more computing power on their wrists than existed in the entire world
before 1961.
Beginning in 1991,
companies spent more money on computing and communications gear than the
combined monies spent on industrial, mining, farm, and construction equipment.

"The 'do nothing'
universities will not survive. Universities need to adapt rapidly to the
top-down influences of globalization and the new technologies, as well as the
bottom-up imperatives of serving the local labor market, innovating with local
companies, and providing professional-development courses that stimulate
economic and intellectual growth."
