Apple , Xerox and Microsoft in the 80s and 90s were building the future. We called them Graphical User Interfaces . So what's different now ? SRI and others were the research that those companies built it off of. This time DARPA was funding AI for a long time and now it's Google / Microsoft / Apple taking those to the next leve.
- quickben 9y ago>> "So what's different now?" Well, at the end of the month, instead of paying IBM for mainframe time, we are now paying AWS for the cloud time. Similarly with the others.
- nojvek 9y agoWell Google and Facebook are building their insanely large ad empires. Not a great future to be honest
- quickben 9y agoYes. So in essence, if one zooms out enough, desktop software has to make a comeback in some form. Otherwise the hooks that saas will establish nowdays will be much more nasty for progress, than anything IBM could ever envision doing.
