Obviously you need yo know computer science history. Most of the major software engineering problems of current times were also present in 1969 conference on it. Technology works in cyclical nature. The failed solutions of past may work in current times.neural nets hit a roadblock in 80s because not fast enough computers. Now suddenly same fundamentals got application in machine learning. Cloud computing has parallels to thin clients of the past and faces similar problems
