These days computers are small enough to toss around like a Frisbee and faster than most of us ever imagined they could possibly be. Yet with all of these advances in technology, we still haven’t seen the end of the computer’s evolution. Check out this fascinating infographic to see what the future holds.

So this graphic told me absolutely nothing. All it did was basically tell us that either hardware or software will advance and/or “have” to advance to accommodate future computing. A chimp could have told me that.
Thanks for wasting my time, DIGG.
