Tablet computers are becoming even more popular, a computer that is touchscreen and a larger version of touchscreen cell phones that are being created today. Tablet computers are becoming more popular because they are portable and make presenting much easier.
However computers are not only getting smaller and smaller but supercomputers are becoming smarter and smarter. The IBM computer "Watson" is a supercomputer that participated on the show Jeopardy. A chinese supercomputer has now been created with capabilities far beyond those of any other supercomputer. The development of computers with capabilities past that of the human brain is becoming more and more evident.
