The last decade has seen an enormous change in the capability of
information technology and also in the expectations of what that
technology can provide. The personal computer revolution at the
start of the 1980s brought computing power to the desktop in a way
that, for the first time, non-technical users could understand and
use in their everyday work. The invisible wall of mystique that had
separated computers from their potential users for so long had been
demolished, and the world of business would never be the same
again. As we entered the 1990s, a decade later, we witnessed the
beginnings of another revolution. This revolution is not so
obvious, but its implications are even more far-reaching. It is not
so obvious because it is happening behind the scenes, in the
communications and computing infrastructure that support the
machines that can be seen sitting on office desks and,
increasingly, being carried with business people as standard
equipment along with a briefcase and umbrella. It is potentially
more far-reaching for the following reason. The per sonal computer
of the 1980s brought computing power to the user in a box that
could fit on a desk. The revolution of the 1990s brings to the user
computing power that is distributed across the whole planet."
