What's Old Is New

http://www.americanscientist.org/template/AssetDetail/assetid/29644

Computers have the gloss of modernity, and the emphasis is always on what's new, what's improved, what the next 'killer thing' will be. This article shows that the roots of current and upcoming computer technology are both old and deep [the Intel processor base and UNIX being two cases in point]. In part, potential future developments are overconstrained by the hand of the past, but in part, developments simply unfold in a 'natural' manner based on what has already been established. In this, computing really is no different from most technologies, which at any one time are an amalgam of the old and the new.
