What innovations in computational space do you expect? Most recent (last two decades, really) advances come in the way of software being able to make use of more powerful hardware. The hardware has gotten advanced enough -- driven by other forces, eg in corporate development of AI and advanced computational work, and server infrastructures -- that anything *new* for us as users would have already been established in one form or another. Innovation in this context is thus in form factor or lightness or battery life. Software advances may make things faster but the fundamental experience of using an operating system or writing a word document is not going to change much as it hasn't since the mid 1990s. We have got to wait until the software catches up to the hardware again to see a blossoming of new interfaces for us users. Until then, stagnant hardware improvements are to be expected as computers move into their role as white goods.
