Name: april forman
From: New York
Bio: Internet user
Area of Expertise: Entrepreneur/Business Leader
Topic: Communication
Headline: Everyting in an Instant
Nutshell: No phone, no mailbox, no shopping mall, no school house - no need.
Vision:There will be no need for the things we, as a society, consider to be essential today, in the internet of the future. Entry will become a form of identification – retina scan, lip print – or simply your touch on a pad that can read your vitals. Identity theft will be vertually impossible.
Visual interaction will personalize the web, auto translators will make international trade and personal communication a snap, and medical equipment that can get readings and send them directly to care providers will make travel become striclty a leisure time activity. "Vote from your living room" and "work at home" will become the norm.
I can’t wait.
