In 1943, Thomas Watson, then president of International Business Machines (aka IBM) made one of the most inaccurate predictions ever. Speaking of the future of the computer business he said, “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” Clearly, he missed the mark by a few billion in sheer numbers. But more importantly he missed the mark in seeing the dramatic shift in human life and culture that would occur. Computers are everywhere today. They drive our work, our society, and our lives in almost every way imaginable. They pervade our reality. So much so that if computers and digital technology suddenly vanished or shut down, global communication, information, and society would come to a grinding halt. From giant supercomputing machines that can cr
