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.

The PC really deserves to be on that list, judging by the others. At the time, a machine built from cheap off the shelf components running a third party OS - and not tied to that OS - was at least as revolutionary as the Apple ][ or Archimedes (first PC featuring RISC - at most a minor issue of semantics - is hardly a "revolution").
