10 years from now, Firefox pops up from nowhere and alerts me about messages I have just recieved. What’s great is that there are no wires, and that technology would have advanced so much that you or I would not have to carry mobile phones to communicate while commuting as it would be the age of earplug-sized Skype phones. This would certainly pose a threat to cellular companies which try to fool customers who avoid reading the fine print during subscription. And Anna Kournikova wont look so appealing as well. So she cant help you market your products.

Many of Isaac Asimov’s theories which were once thought to be supernatural, are now considered amazingly accurate. I, Robot which is an excellent movie based on his theories, talks about Robots controlling Humans who tend to accept defeat very fast. That stage, according to me is not very from now. As computers become more advanced, the Artificial Intelligence also becomes advanced. It is like a perfect example of proportions.

Microsoft and Apple which would probably have merged by then, would be begging people to buy their products, which may never be of as much use to us then, as it is now. One service that would still be doing well would be eBay, where buying and selling is much simpler with voice recognition(a technology that Microsoft promised to include in 2000, Me and XP, but failed to do so) over that 1GBps connection where you stream television and other services simultaneously and effectively. All this is the crap I wrote in an English performance test where the topic of debate was “The supernatural is an irrefutable part of our lives”.

As technology advances, I think it makes it more difficult for people to make big changes and re quires you to follow a completely new pattern to achieve something that you could have achieved 20 minutes faster using what you already have. So it is still too early and difficult to judge what role technology will play in our lives.
