Behind The Tech with Kevin Scott

NOTE

Technological Shifts Driven by Accessibility and Usability

The evolution of technology from being inaccessible and challenging to highly usable and ubiquitous is recurring, reminiscent of the PC revolution driven by Moore's Law.

This shift parallels the underlying influence of computers and Moore's Law in driving technological progress.
