Fifty years? Wow. I'm going to go with five. Sure, the economic model of supply/demand and natural selection will hold for quite some time, but I'm expecting the whole paradigm of computing to change many many many times by then. Just look back - 20 years ago stand alone desktops were the norm. 15 years ago, the client-server model. 10 years ago, the internet was taking off, 5 years ago, virtualization was gaining acceptance. Whatever the next hurdle or limitation is, our innovation overcomes it. Now we're "in the cloud" <wince> with software being provided on demand as a service, the sky is the limit, and we're not stopping there.
