Hardware, Embedded Systems After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

Multi core, multi threaded CPU's are already on the roadmaps.
GUI's will be rendered on the grahics card like Quartz and Avalon
USB Flash drives have already pretty much replaced the Floppy drive
PCI express allows for 10gigE network cards.

As far as software, the way I use a computer today has not really changed since I used Win95.

I don't think a computer will ever be able to "think for me" without just being in my way.
