However unpleasant these terribly tacky videos were they seemed to get a few things right about the future. The display screens in the class room seem to be what we have today with projectors and powerpoint presentations. However I have never seen my professor talk to a student who is out sick or the student eager to be involved from the privacy of their own home. They nailed it with video chat as programs like skype an i chat make it possible to talk to anyone who is connected to the internet via video stream or just internet phone calls. I'm sure the technology is out there for voice commanded computers but I have yet to experience it. That would make life much easier not having to prompt the computer with mouse commands or keyboard commands.
What does the our future hold? I think in the future we well no longer need the computer as a hefty device but some thing that will be integrated into the say the clothes we wear or even more into the future something that is integrated into our bodies. The realm of technology will move out of tangible world into our stream of conciousness making access to large bodies of information and communication a natural function of our mental capacity.
