Interestingly I think that if you subtracted the hardware and went back to 1982 and put what has come since then on the table the interesting things would not be the smart tech of today (transformers, vector-dbs, MCMC,...) but would probably be answer sets. I think if they had come along in the early 80's then we would all be using logic programming and CS in general would look a lot different. I don't think that there would be many games for mobile phones though.
