Chrisv,
In 5 years:
The computer will be an embedded device, the
screen will either be projected, or a polymer, the keyboard
will be projected with motion sensing, as well as the mouse,
or other motion devices. The systems will consume far
less power, and generate far less heat, while continuing
Moore's law.
Portables will become Wearables, and displays will become
direct retinal imaging devices.
Floor units will become a novelty at the Smithsonian, next
to the magnetic core memory display.
Identity theft will no longer make the news, as there will
be no one left that has not had their identity stolen.
The U.S. will still be in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The gas prices will float around $8 a gallon.
Roe-vs-Wade will be over-turned by Bush puppets,
along with the return of prayer in public schools.
Ford and GM will STILL be trying to sell gas hogging SUVs
with macho commercials. Toyota and Honda will capture
the majority of the U.S. auto market.
U.S. Companies will have outsourced every last job possible,
reducing the median income for the vast majority of U.S. citizens,
which will compete with the increasing Mexican influx of
workers for low income jobs. (See: Wal-Mart for openings )
Microsoft Windows Vista release will still be on
the skids, and still be unstable, un-reliable, insecure,
riddled with bugs, and generating billions of dollars
of income for the Gates family.
Enjoy,
Postmaster
