内容和所有可电子编码的信息将在网络空间1[1]!据预测,计算机的性能将至少是现在的10万倍。如果硬件(如半导体、磁性存储器和光纤)继续以我们所知的摩尔定律每年1.60倍的速度发展,那么功能强大100亿倍的计算机将会存在!零成本,通信计算机将无处不在,嵌入到从电话、电灯开关、马达、建筑物和高速公路到所有人都能看到的一切东西中,所有变化的图像都可以与我们交谈。他们将成为盲人和聋人的耳目,准确地知道他们在哪里,并能够驾驶车辆。网络化的唯一限制是我们的网络,以及我们通过传感器/效应器将计算机与物理世界的不同部分连接起来的能力,这些传感器/效应器包括直接连接、语音、手势等。由对知识和经济的追求驱动
Content and all electronically encodable information will be in cyberspace 1 [1]! Computers are predicted to be at least 100,000 times more powerful. If hardware (such as semiconductors, magnetic memories , and fiber optics) continues to evolve at the annual factor of 1.60 rate we know as Moore's Law, then computers that are 10 billion times more powerful will exist! Zero cost, communicating computers will just be everywhere, embedded in everything from phones, light switches, motors, buildings, and highways to all seeing, all changing pictures that can converse with us. They'll be the eyes and ears for the blind and deaf, know exactly where they are, and be able to drive vehicles. The only limits to cyberization are our networks and our ability to interface computers with the various parts of the physical world through sensor/effectors consisting of direct connections, voice, gestures, and so on. Driven by a quest for knowledge and the econom
