10 Trends in Desktop Computing that Will Affect your Job and Your Life

“The revolution is in the increased communication capability,” John Dvorak explains. “This is a
continuation of what started well before the Industrial Revolution. Genghis Khan was one of the
first to grasp the concept of the necessity of quick transmittal of information. He had horses positioned
every twenty miles and when guys wore out a horse, they jumped on the next one and the next one. They
made two hundred miles a day, which was a big deal back in the year 1200. Now we can do everything
instantly, worldwide. It’s frightening.”
