If you think there have not been significant achievements since 1996 then you are not looking in the right places. Then why just look at 1996? The Mother of All Demos by Douglas Engelbart (1968) probably had all the cool stuff anyways: graphical interfaces, videoconferences, collaborative editing, word processing, hypertext... A lot has been done since 1996. Could we have done more? sure. Computers have way more potential than what we use them for.
