Open Croquet http://www.opencroquet.org -一个吱吱声，基于smalltalk的3D环境，允许多个用户从内部交互和编程环境。它有自己的对象复制协议，用于在互联网上高效和可扩展地共享环境。**这很难描述，因为没有任何东西能像它一样……

1)我提出这个建议是因为当我试图向别人解释它是什么时，我发现他们希望我把它与其他东西进行比较……我还没有发现任何类似的东西，尽管有许多来自其他系统的元素(例如Smalltalk, Open GL, etoys，虚拟世界，远程协作，面向对象的复制架构)，整体似乎远远超过部分…

2)不像这里提到的许多技术，它还没有成为一个广泛开发的商业利基市场……

这两点都是这项技术处于早期阶段的迹象。

我怀疑，当艾伦·凯开始研究这个问题时，他可能首先就考虑过这个问题的主题。

增强现实。这还没有真正流行起来，但从想法来看，我认为它是巨大的，从能够在地面上画虚拟箭头来帮助你找到目的地，到用有用的信息或审美幻想装饰你周围的一切。

想象一下，你的手机在房间的另一头响了起来，你看着它，上面会跳出一个信息泡泡，告诉你是谁打来的。那该有多酷?AR将给我们思考技术和与技术互动的方式带来巨大的变化。

鬼屋可能也会变得更加可怕。

我还想提到用于脑机接口的脑电图，但显然这是在20世纪70年代首次发明的。

我不知道是否有人已经回答了，“机器学习”作为一个重要的新发展，正在迅速发展。智能垃圾邮件过滤、股市预测、机器人等智能机器……

也许，机器智能会是下一个大事件。

当然，1980年以前是施乐PARC的辉煌时期。在图形用户界面、鼠标、激光打印机、互联网和个人电脑刚刚诞生的时候。(鉴于我太年轻了，不可能活在那个年代，而你几乎在努力发明所有这些东西，关于1980年的事情，我不能告诉你任何你不知道的事情，所以我们继续吧。)

The thing is, though, that the pre-1980 days were a lot more vibrant in terms of truly disruptive new technologies. That's the way it is with any new field -- hwo many game-changing technology advances have you seen in railroads in the past 100 years? How many have you seen in lightbulbs? In the printing press? Once something ignites a hype in the right circles, there is an explosive period of invention, followed by a long period of maturing. After that, you're not going to see the same kind of completely radical changes again UNLESS the basic circumstances change.

幸运的是，这可能会发生在一些领域，而且已经发生在其他一些领域:

Mobility - smart phones bring computing to a truly portable platform, which will soon include location-based services and proximity-based ad-hoc networks. It's a completely new paradigm that's potentially as game-changing as the GUI has been The WWW (HTTP, HTML and DNS) has already been mentioned and is an obvious addition to the list, since it is enabling global, inexpensive, mainstream rich communication across the globe - all thanks to a computing platform On the interface side, both touch, multitouch (Jeff Han comes to mind) and the Wiimote need mentioning. Currently, they are basically curiosities, but so were the early GUIs. OOP design patterns -- higher level solutions as best practices to hard problems. Depending on your definition of 'computing', it may or may not belong on the list, but if you count OOP as a significant advance pre-1980 (I certainly do), I think design patterns and the GoF deserve a mention too Google's PageRank and MapReduce algorithms - I am pleased to notice I wasn't the first to mention them, and seriously --- where would the world be without the principles of both of them? I vividly remember what the world looked like before them, and suffice it to say Google really IS my friend. Non-volatile memory -- it's on the hardware side, but it is going to play a significant role in the future of computing - making bootup times a thing of the past, for example, and enabling us to use computers in entirely new ways Semantic (natural language) search / analysis / classification / translation... We're not quite there yet, but companies like Powerset give the impression that we're on the brink. On that note, intelligent HTMs should be on this list as well. I am yet another believer in Jeff Hawkins' model and approach, and if it works, it will mean a complete redefinition of what computers can do, what it means to be human, and where the world can go from here. Creating a real intelligence in that way (synthetically) would be bigger than anything the human race has accomplished before. GNU + Linux 3D printing / rapid prototyping (and, in time, manufacturing) P2P (which also lead to VoIP etc.) E-ink, once the technologies mature a bit more RFID might belong on the list, but the verdict is still out on that one Quantum Computing is the most obvious element on the list, except we still haven't been able to get enough qubits to play along. However, my friends in the field tell me there's incredible progress going on even as we speak, so I'm holding my breath for that one. And finally, I want to mention a personal favourite: distributed intelligence, or its other name: artificial artificial intelligence. The idea of connecting a huge number of people in a network and allowing them access to the combined minds of everyone else through some form of question answering interface. It's been done a number of times recently, with Yahoo Answers, Askville, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and so on, but in my mind, those are all missing the mark by a LOT... much like the many implementations of distributed hypertext that came before Tim Berners-Lee's HTML, or the many web crawlers before Google. Seriously -- someone needs to build an search interface into 'the hive mind' to blow everyone else out of the water. IMHO - it is only a matter of time.

用于人机交互的触摸屏和体感界面。

例如:

pda、iPhone或任天堂DS的触屏 运动感应，任天堂Wii控制器或(在较小程度上)Playstation 3的SixAxis控制器。

唯一的问题是…这些技术真的是80后吗?
