IBM existed a good 50 years before mainframes - we started with scales.
The truth of Moore's law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.
Are machines getting more and more powerful? Absolutely. It's been going on since 1940. We are making progress, and for many people, it will be a lifesaver.
People are going to use more and more AI. Acceleration is going to be the path forward for computing. These fundamental trends, I completely believe in them.
The U.S. has always been a global innovation vanguard - driving advancements in computing, communication, and media to rail, automobiles, and aeronautics.
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.
The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry.
Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.
A typical smart phone has more computing power than Apollo 11 when it landed a man on the moon.
The data center side of the world is kind of like a solved problem, but you see interesting things happening on the edge with things like cell phones and embedded systems that are becoming really fascinating.
Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.
If the Internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we're toast. But if it is, we're golden.
