'With the advent of multi-core architectures, these devices are starting to have 2, 4, 8... computers each in them, so we'll exceed a dozen computers "on or around their bodies" very soon.'
Calling multi core architectures multiple computers is... interesting. I don't think there's much point in the document if he's going to give himself the most generous possible interpretation, wildly alternating between the letter and spirit of what he wrote. And I say that as someone who vaguely agrees with him.
- bl4k 16y agoHe is being very, very liberal with his own analysis. If you read the predictions in context, you know that he predicted a future world where we are all wearing computers that we talk to. When he pulls each prediction out, he is able to justify it with a bit of a stretch. btw he completely missed cloud computing - his predictions have users storing everything at home on large disk arrays. (not sure how he missed it Ellison has been banging on about it for decades)
