We all know that the internet changed the way we communicate, learn, research, connect and more. And then along comes social media and now there are ways to chat, get on a wall, tweet, befriend and unfriend people from around the world in just a matter of moments. It's like life is in fast forward and the time between stops is shorter and shorter.
As I was contemplating life as I sometimes zone out ... my mind went to what's next, what's going to be cool, what's the next big thing, and how will my life change because of it. Well, I decided to use those new ways of research and just started to "google" (a verb less than 10 years old) different thoughts, sayings, etc. on what's next. And not to be let down, I found an article in PC World written just yesterday with the headline, "Game-Changers: 10 Potentially Huge Technologies." Wow ... what's next is in writing.
Now here's the skinny on this article: it's long, it's technical and it's about potential reality not reality. And here's my opinion, our clothes will talk (think Minority Report), computers will think and type for us (think Terminator), our brains will connect with our pda (think Total Recall), and finally we can let our email do the talking for us (think A.I.) Just maybe this is overstating the case and a little bit of a stretch including the association with futuristic-type movies. However, the article is a little dry, but it does list some of the next wave of technology, with much already in progress. If it all comes true, this life ride just got faster. That's my thought, what's yours?
