It sure looks like the 2000's will be a communication DUD. Let's give the 2000's credit for TEXT MESSAGING and CAMERA PHONES.

So now here is the prediction for the 2010s.
- talking internet. That is, full surfing without a computer.

Answer 2

Wireless internet access over cellular networks has already started to show signs of being a very important development. Also, in the short term, we'll start seeing city-wide wireless internet access in more and more places. Skype, and other free voice carriers, will probably drastically change how we're used to communicating as well.

In the longer term, better translation technologies will probably have a huge effect on the number of people that we communicate with.

In our Year right now.. the 2000's

The Big thing right now or in the future.. Well Mobile Phones get smaller and smaller and thinner, also memory is expanding..

The Main goal of the future is put everything together in one device..

As you know the future is already in Japan.. They have everything in their phone.. Their access to banks, Like credit cards. They can pay anything using their mobile phones! They have 3G technology. which is a broadband speed for mobile and they can have video conference on their mobile phone as well..

The bottom line is.. Their wallet, keys, Organizer, Money, PC, Music, Video, etc.. Its all in one!!

The future is already out there and being used.. We just got to wait for it to come here in the US!
