While the world economy continues to look shaky, the technology industry has never looked stronger.
Now is perhaps a good time to stop for a moment and reflect on what the next decade will be all about for the industry.
My vision of what the technology industry needs to focus on is best described by the title of Michael Dertouzos’s book The Unfinished Revolution (Dertouzos was the head of MIT’s Laboratory for Computer Science, where I was a graduate student). The revolution that Dertouzos talks about is in “human-centric” computing. Indeed, today’s open problems are not so much in the domain of chips and networking as they are in the more human-centric domains.
