Star Trek is a perfect example. I’m a TNG kid, so seeing touchscreen computing, tablets, communicators, and speech translation all finally coming to fruition is really exciting. But then I look back at the original series, with it’s incandescent lights and CRT screens. What so constrained that vision.

It seems like a common theme in sci-fi. We’ve been waiting for flying cars for how long now? Is it the ubiquity of the automobile that makes other forms of transportation hard to even imagine?

It would be a good choice for someone who wants all of these archetypes in one program, and is able to adjust their workflow. (and probably unparalleled for the photographer and text manipulator)

I don’t get what the author meant in saying there were no “professional” alternatives for the vector graphics professional. I think that Illustrator (or if Adobe isn’t allowed, Corel Draw or Xara would easily fit the bill…)
