Abstract
1996 marks the 50th anniversary of Eniac. Eniac´s creation gave birth to an era of remarkable technical progress. Eniac´s line of descendants include most computers in use today: laptops, PCs, workstations, as well as supercomputers. As the next century is about to begin, the paper reflects on where the age of computing has brought us so far and where we might find ourselves in the future. It focuses on science and engineering applications
