It is always smaller than what came before. Most think of the new technology as “just a toy” The new dominant use was almost completely absent before. Technology spread increases

7. cs294-8 lec. # cs294-8 s2000. 7 Historic Perspective (cont) Technology discontinuities drive new computing paradigms, applications, system architectures E.g., Xerox Alto –3Ms--1 mips, 1 megapixel, 1 mbps –Fourth M: 1 megabyte of memory –From time sharing to LAN-connected client-server with display intensive applications What will drive the next discontinuity?
