Anthony,
I agree that 'puters of the future will bear resemblence today's "Model T" computers. I believe that voice recognition, now doable but not perfected, will be the next revolution. And that will require LOTS of MEMORY and COMPUTING POWER. So while the "futureputers" will be different, they're still gonna need "INTEL INSIDE", at least for the next generation. I agree that at some point in the "way out years" someone other than INTEL **might** come out with a product that is the equivalent of a car engine that gets 200 MPG. More than likely, however, is that INTEL ITSELF, as the financial beneficiary of current trends, will be the one with the financial clout to do the development.
Again, no one thought that AT&T would be in the dumper, as it currently is, or that IBM would plunge from the 170s in 1987 to 41 two years ago. So at SOME POINT Intel might go awry too. But on a risk/reward basis I would rate INTEL as a better bet than GE OR MO. |
