It occurred to me that we are on the edge of the no-computer generation. Yes, just like they are now writing articles about people getting rid of their TV access and just relying on the net (I do that), soon they will be writing about people getting rid of their computers, meaning those huge, clunky behemoths many of us have been taking for granted most of our lives.
Here comes the "computer? What's that?" generation. We will be switching to a cluster of smaller devices.
So when future generations see Scottie say "Computer!" in the movie, they will laugh like we did, but they will be laughing at the idea that people ever had such clunky devices around.
All I want is 40 acres, a mule, and Xterm.
