This Discussion asks you to identify significant, disruptive changes in computer hardware.
Many changes in computers and peripheral devices are incremental -- they are essentially consequences of Moore's Law. Identify and describe a fundamental, non-incremental change to computer hardware, such as the Webbook, that has occurred in the last 20 years. Suggest another that you think has a good chance to occur in the next decade. What effects do you expect it to have? Why do you expect this change to occur?

1. This Discussion asks you to identify significant, disruptive
changes in computer hardware.
Many changes in computers and peripheral devices are
incremental -- they are essentially consequences of Moore's
Law. Identify and describe a fundamental, non-incremental
change to computer hardware, such as the Webbook, that has
occurred in the last 20 years. Suggest another that you think
has a good chance to occur in the next decade. What effects do
you expect it to have? Why do you expect this change to occur?
