Noel,
   Sort of reminds me of my European history class, where the professor 
pointed out that, for a long long time, if you'd asked what happened in 
1492, the expulsion of the Moors from Spain would have been the big 
deal.  Only much later did Columbus's discovery of America come to be 
seen as more important.
   Maybe something similar will play out in mid-20th century technology 
history.

p.s.: also, although it's *really* off topic, I do appreciate that the 
vocabulary I used for the 1492 example (commonly used when I was in 
college) is also dated, which shows how history keeps changing
