Communicating in the Future
Communication has already changed dramatically in my lifetime. I grew up with rabbit ears and snail mail. Now I have a satellite dish and instant messaging. The future will bring a slew of new products that will change the way we communicate with each other and with machines.
Communication in the future may include:
Phone, computer, tv all in one portable device
Communication implants
Personal memory exchange
Virtual presence
Virtual worlds
Speech recognition on all machines
Knowledge, entertainment, news, internet--on demand, anywhere
High speed travel
Electronic paper/paint
Haptic displays
Vehicles will communicate with you, each other and with road side communicators
Your home and appliances will communicate with you, service people and emergency/medical personnel
Electronic Paper
Today, the portable wireless devices that allow you to download and read a newspaper or book, sometimes called eReaders, are convenient and can also help reduce the amount of paper we use. eReaders of the future will be paper thin, flexible and have wireless connections. When not being used, large displays may roll-up or neatly fold away.
E Ink
Electronic Paper
Rollable display
Students design future flexible display products
Future Technology Predictions
How far will technology advance in 20, 30, even 50 years from now? How will it affect our lives? Here are some technologies and scenarios predicted by science fiction writers, futurists, technology experts and my Uncle Walt, a retired house painter.
Note: This list was compiled from unsubstantiated sources on the internet and one that was written on the back of a cocktail napkin at the Time Warp Bar & Grill in Sparks, Nevada. Please consider it accordingly.
