Area of Expertise: Futurist/Consultant

Topic: Communication

Headline: Portable Electronics Will be VERY Personal

Nutshell: Personal shoppers, ability to buy products will be done under your skin, in your eyeglasses, fingertips, rather than on a computer. You are your very own internet connection.

Vision:

With electronics becoming tinier and tinier, information will literally be able to be embedded within your body. Wireless connections direct from satellites will be linked to tiny chips in your nervous system. Access the chips by thought, buy products, send thought-mails, and instant-thought messages with people you know. Literally a world at your fingertips… or thought-tips?
