Oh god, there were so many boneheaded 90s predictions about computers.
1) We just expected single core performance to double forever every 2 years or so. Many of us were ignorant of single-core performance scaling and the memory wall issues. I want to be clear: Computer Architects were warning people about this in the early 90s but many ignored their inconvenient truth.
2) 2D GUIs would evolve into 3D GUIs - maybe VR? Maybe something else? And the CLI would be gone
3) Low/no code drag-and-drop style programming tools would take away many dev jobs
4) Microsoft taking over and Unix dying
5) All programming would be object-oriented (We are talking 90s style definition here)
