Miniaturization followed by integration. Sooner or later you'll have one iPhone like device that does the job of literally all your gadgets. And it will be tiny.

Computer and TV will be fused. The word multimedia will be reused into something we have never seen before. In a couple of years we will do a lot in 3D. I think those are the next big things.

They better have a flying car or a time machine...

Miniaturization followed by integration. Sooner or later you'll have one iPhone like device that does the job of literally all your gadgets. And it will be tiny.

My iPhone already does the job of all my gadgets. Phone, mp3 player, video player, camera, GPS, Internet browser, e-mail client, IRC, Skype, MSN, Internet radio receiver, calculator. Only things I can't do with it that have been noticeable are record video and play flash videos on anything but Youtube.

Around 1995 I was going through my record collection. I pulled one out of its sleeve just as my (then) 5-year-old walked in.

Then again, I'm so old I remember watching men walk on the moon.

I miss floppy disks.

The next evolution is electronics integrated into your body. Imagine a cell phone or computer you access by your thoughts.

My school still uses floppy disks

Your children are older than me.

Your children are older than me.

Oh yeah....that makes me feel so much better.

there will be no integration of technology into the body until some kind of 'continuing' purchase model becomes possible. The tech will need to be 'reboosted' or will need a 'battery pack'.

Nobody manufactures any 'item for life'.

Oh yeah....that makes me feel so much better.

If it makes you feel any better, he might be younger than me depending on birthdays. Otherwise about the same age.

You're only as old as you feel, Buff
