Something that has been a concern for some time is percolating in my brain. I am having a sinking feeling that hardware is simply too far ahead of the applications.

Do we need 3rd generation cell-phones? Do we need mega PC's? How much updating do corporations need? I am tired of shopping on the web, and I hate malls with a passion. I need very little.

I keep looking for the killer apps. I thought digital cameras would stimulate demand, and that digital TV would be a monster. We need a more powerful, more reliable operating software system.

Let's hope the 3rd world can afford to catch up and buy what we now consider standard.
