    I find it amazing how far computers and the internet has come in the last 20 years.

    From them commadores with the squealing tape to load a game! and the very basic pages of the internet that took a week to load....

    ...to now the laptop that now more powerfull than a whole companies system 20 years ago and internet pages that load in a heartbeat with amazing interactive technology.

    So where do you think computers and the internet are going to be in another 20 years ?

    Will you be interacting with a holagram ?
    Or will it all go bang when technology tops itself ?

    hmmm

    In the future I'm going to have high speed wireless connection in my brain, and instead of typing responses, I'll just think what I want to say and the forum software will read my mind and type my response for me.

    I'll also be able to order snacks/drinks through the internet and have them uploaded to me.

    Oh, the same old doomsday theory.

    The US will build a computer so powerful, it'll develop AI. It'll get pissed with humans, and try to wipe them all out.

    Never send a human to do a machine's job. Think about it.

    In 20 years...we'll have a computer chip implanted in our brain. That will be our computer. Just think and you can surf da internet, send E-mail, watch WackoTube, make wacko head transplants...all while counting sheep in bed!!!! :D:D

    Oh, and it'll take just a second to download a terabyte size movie. :D:D

    I'd say 10 of my domains will be worth millions :D

    Also, maybe we will have microchips embedded in our brains or spinal cord, or somthing, so we can surf, watch TV, post on DP, etc from our bodies itself....:D:D


    Edit: Omfg, me and wacko said the same thing!

    twenty years ago we predicted hovering skateboards, self-drying jackets, self-lacing shoes, flying cars, dust free paper, nuclear powered cars. I haven't seen any of this stuff.

    All of our predictions are gonna be wrong. Sure things will be cooler, but not how we hoped they would be.
