I reference this column by Cringely because it is about the future of the technology business. But, it is more about the coming process by which advances will be funded then what that technology is. I think that the future is in more power efficient processors. For now, batteries lag behind the advances in speed and power that portable devices can provide. The future of ubiquitous computing is coming, and instead of waiting for better batteries, I think the way to go is smaller, more efficient processors.
