The limitations on memory size and computational speed that are associated with 8-bit microcomputers will become history with the advent of genuine 16-bit microcomputers (not to mention 32-bit microcomputers). The interactive and pictorial advantages of current microcomputers will be combined with memory size and computing power nearing that of mainframe computers without unreasonable additional costs.
