Magazine Hyperbole Will Be Vastly Superior in the Future!
Wow. I found an article over at pcmag.com titled “Five Ideas That Will Reinvent Modern Computing.” I thought, maybe two out of five wouldn’t be bad. But not one? Not one of the ideas they cite will change modern computing. It really made me wonder, do the editors at PCmag.com use computers? I’m serious, not one of the items that they mention will have an impact on modern computing. And let me stress that: modern computing—meaning computing in the next five to ten years. The one technology that might have an impact that they cite (which, really, is a gimme) is quantum computing. No doubt, quantum computing (which is theoretical and still might not happen on a manufacturing scale) could change computing. But it won’t change anything for twenty years. That’s not modern computing. But the other technologies they cite are irrelevant or just banal.
