To me the PC represented a revolution of letting the rest of us own a computer -- and taking it out of the hands of the high priests of mainframes. But I'd like to see the next revolution occur where non-geeks can build apps. No they don't have to be complex apps, but even something that's like the old HyperCard would be cool.
