Each of the last five decades in technology was defined largely by the decisions of one of the major vendors: the 1970s by AT&T; the 80s by IBM; the 90s by Microsoft; and the 2000s by Apple. Google is the favorite for defining the 2010s, or teen decade — and that’s a good focus for discussion as we get ready for a battle royal this week between the company of the 2000s and the company of the 2010s. Another thing to consider: whether the company of the 90s can come back, or whether Sony will be the next Apple after Steve Jobs leaves.
