USB key是软盘的有效替代品，软盘在简单传输方面仍然优于CD或DVD。

I'd say the biggest trend is an ever increasing lack of location dependence and pervasiveness. An interesting philosophical exercise these days is to count the computers in you immediate area. They're everywhere desktops, keyboards, microwaves, radios, televisions, cell phones etc... My grandmother computer is illiterate however her life is as infested with small computers as everyone else's. She can make a call to me from the middle of an empty field. I can then answer that call zipping down the highway.

第一个“无线手机”专利诞生于1908年，并且酝酿了很长一段时间(0G于1945年，1G于1979年在日本推出)，而现代2G数字手机直到1991年才出现。1993年才出现短信，1999年才出现互联网接入。

The mouse - There have been posts about human interaction. To me, the mouse was the gateway to human interaction. Without it, we'd still be typing and not clicking in dragging, even with our fingers. GUI - Complimented the mouse perfectly. I work in an environment where an as400 is the backend of one of our major apps. Yeah.. Interesting stuff but it just reminds me of the screens 'Bill Gates' is working in in the movie 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' even though that's not what it was. To me, 1 and 2 are the reason anybody, including grandpas and grandmas can use a computer. Excel / spreadsheets - Someone mentioned this before but it's work mentioning again. It's so user friendly and is a great entry point for non-technical users to try their hand at simple programming concepts when performing calculations on cells. Granted it came out before 1980, but the versions post 1980 are when the technology in spreadsheets evolved. Internet (of course) - Not sure how people wrote code without it! Don't flame me for repeating because this belongs on every list. INTELLISENSE - LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

在操作系统核心开发中使用函数式编程/语言。

HTM系统(分层时态记忆)。

人工智能的一种新方法，由杰夫·霍金斯通过《论智能》一书发起。

现在是一家名为Numenta的公司，通过开发“真正的”人工智能来测试这些想法，并邀请社区通过sdk使用该系统来参与。

它更多的是从头开始构建机器智能，而不是试图模仿人类的推理。
