Predicting the future is hard and risky. Predicting the future in
the computing industry is even harder and riskier due to dramatic
changes in technology and limitless challenges to innovation. Only a
small fraction of innovations truly disrupt the state of the art.
Some are not practical or cost-effective, some are ahead of their
time, and some simply do not have a market. There are numerous
examples of superior technologies that were never adopted because
others arrived on time or fared better in the market.
