Exponentials R Us

-

In an article on xconomy.com, Ed Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, tells us that Exponentials R Us.

He wrote, "Forty years ago, in 1969, Neil Armstrong left footprints on the surface of the moon. It was an extraordinary accomplishment." 

He goes on to point out that, the same year - 1969, the very first message was sent over Arpanet - predecessor to the internet.

Continuing his discussion of Exponentials R Us, he lists several phenomenal advances in computer science - that have led directly to major changes in the way we live out lives.  Then he suggests some areas to watch over the next decade or so.
