1984 to 1994 showed some incredible growth in personal computing. Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and various flavors of OS2, Unix, Linux and more.
The hardware was just being developed and it was a lot like the old west with shootouts every year. By 1994 there really was a computer on every desk and in almost every home.
1994 to 2004 showed the dominance of Windows in Business, of Mac in the Arts and Entertainment and of Linux building the Internet.
And the hardware flourished. We finally reached the stage where every computer sold was good enough for almost every job. Innovation would drive the next decade.
2004 to 2014 showed the explosion of software becoming ubiquitous, of devices making "computing anywhere" a reality.
And now the future is the "Internet of Things" where the operating system and the hardware don't matter, just the ability to do anything anytime from anywhere.
