Elon University
The prediction, in brief:

There are going to be phenomenal breakthroughs as we go into parallel computing technology, and I believe these will be beyond our wildest imagination. It will be a hot growth area because of the fact that our strength, as Americans, is in our diversity and entrepreneurial spirit. Traditionally, we have always been strong in invention and development, but not necessarily in implementation.

Predictor: Celente, Gerald

Prediction, in context:

In a 1993 article in Business Credit, the publication of the National Association of Credit Management, writer Eric Anderson interviewed futurist Gerald Celente. Anderson writes: ”Business Credit asked Gerald Celente, author of ‘Trend Tracking – the System to Profit from Today’s Trends,’ director of the Trends Research Institute, and editor and publisher of the Trends Journal, to share his views on what the future has in store for technological progress in America … ”BC: Information processing has changed radically in the last quarter century. Why can we expect to see more advancements in this field over the next 5 to 10 years?” ”Celente: There are going to be phenomenal breakthroughs as we go into parallel computing technology, and I believe these will be beyond our wildest imagination. It will be a hot growth area because of the fact that our strength, as Americans, is in our diversity and entrepreneurial spirit. Traditionally, we have always been strong in invention and development, but not necessarily in implementation.”
