Boy isn't that the truth. It's amazing how much changed in 10 years.
Of course, we're going through the same thing now with cell phones. 10 years ago, even the name "Verizon" was only a few months old. Phones had screens that displayed numbers, sometimes names, and could emit a series of beeps.
Amazingly, in both cases, while they may not have been the first, Apple was the company that brought both industries to the mainstream.
I wonder what the next tech industry to be revolutionized will be.

True holograms. 3D TV is tiptoeing in that direction.
That is my prediction.
That and the complete confluence of phone/TV/cell/Internet into a seamless whole (we are 2/3 of the way there IMHO).
I was looking at the new Widows 7 phone. To me, it sure seems like it's just as powerful as a better laptop was maybe as recently as 8 years ago - computing power, not necessarily storage.

My money is either bio-computing or something else that will break down the physical limitation that are quickly being approached with current semi-conductors, or some next-generation previously unimagined energy source.
