Barry, an additional analogy is the electric motor. When it first came out, it was used just like the big steam engine, in one place with lots of belts to applications (the mainframe). Later smaller motors wre used, one for each big machine (the PC). Eventually their use spread almost everywhere for small applications (the enbedded computer). I think the computer revolution is about where the auto industry was in the late 1920's. As you said, everything happens quicker today. We haven't even begun to imagine the implications of having todays supercomputer power available for a few cents.
