摘要

A lot of what we write about is pigeon step stuff; exciting but logical progression - a few more MHz or megabits, larger LCDs and cheaper Ram and Flash. The 'tipping points', as futurologists call them, come every few years. Sometimes they are obvious, like CD and DVD. Sometimes not; Sony's Walkman was at first written off as an expensive recorder that did not record and only worked with headphones. The hard disk personal video recorder only looked logical after Tivo. Sometimes the big steps come because technology has caught up with an old dream. Pulse code modulation was a pre-war idea. The plan to split the country up into radio cells so frequencies could be re-used dates back to the 1940s, but no-one could make it work until the 1980s. Spread spectrum is equally old. COFDM, the coded orthogonal frequency division multiplex system that makes digital TV and ADSL possible, began as an idea for digital radio. I vividly remember the first time I saw the impossible - full-motion video from a music CD, thanks to what later became mpeg1, and then mpeg2 and mpeg4. All these systems had to wait for huge, but cheap, processing power.
