It seems that for the people who are canonically regarded as visionaries, massive connectivity through tiny devices was obvious. For Bill Gates, not so much.&lt;p&gt;BYTE: Let&amp;#x27;s discuss the subject of porta­bility. Do you think we&amp;#x27;ll have notebook computers or pocket computers? How do you think the size will evolve?&lt;p&gt;Gordon Bell: The computer will disappear by another 10 years in [its present form]. There will be zero-cost notebook-size computers with one chip in them that will have about 32 megabytes. So people will be carrying around these sort of minicellular, really connected, computers that go into their own databases somewhere.&lt;p&gt;Doug Engelbart: Everyone’s going to have a computer-carried around, or surgically implanted, or sitting on your hat or your spectacles or what-and they’re all going to be connected into networks just totally, [and] those networks will be wireless.&lt;p&gt;BYTE: This sounds more like a portable office than a portable computer. Do you really think cellular phones and faxes will enter the notebook arena?&lt;p&gt;Bill Gates: That&amp;#x27;s a little radical. I don&amp;#x27;t think it&amp;#x27;s necessary. If you can connect up every few hours, that&amp;#x27;s good enough. The machine in the office will just have this op­tic fiber that will go off to the world net­ work out there. It will directly connect to some kind of server and will have a lot of storage.</text><parent_chain><item><author>diego_moita</author><text>My favourite number, that I kept for years later, was from September&amp;#x2F;1990.&lt;p&gt;It had interviews with everyone that was &amp;quot;important&amp;quot; back then (Gates &amp;amp; Allen (MS), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Doug Engelbart (mouse &amp;amp; GUIs), Tony Hoare (quicksort), Brian Kernigham, Donald Knuth, Bob Metcalfe (Ethernet), Philipe Kahn (Borland), Bob Noyce, Dennis Ritchie (C), Bjarne Stroustroup (C++), Wolfram) predicting the future.&lt;p&gt;None of them predicted the Internet.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;archive.org&amp;#x2F;details&amp;#x2F;byte-magazine-1990-09&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;archive.org&amp;#x2F;details&amp;#x2F;byte-magazine-1990-09&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>BYTE Magazine</title><url>https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine</url></story>
