Trends and Factors

What are three trends you see in computer evolution? AND why?

The trends I see in computer evolution are the size of the computer getting smaller, the ability to run faster and more efficiently, and how much data can the computer store. Today people want a smaller, mobile computer, so they take it with them everywhere and have quick access to what they need. Also, I see the trend of faster processing computers that run efficiently, so that they can get to whatever they need quicker, and easier. Finally, I see the need for more storage on a computer, so they have whatever they need right there, and not have to search through flash drives, or the cloud.

Name three factors that drive technological innovation?

One factor that drives technological innovation is being able to replicate copies of the same thing easily, it would be hard to build a computer to sell to the public, and struggle to make several to supply the demand. Another factor is how well can the device compute its power, or information. People will not want something that cant compute something accurately, or fast. Finally the last factor that drives technological innovation is its programmability, how well can it be changed to fit the owners needs.
