Headline: Accessing with Ease

Nutshell: Wireless communications, coupled with voice recognition, will allow everyone to access the internet and share information continuously.

Vision:

I can see everyone connected 24/7 with a handsfree, wireless, headset. The headset will contain a tiny LCD that you will look through while you walk and work. Voice recognition will replace keyboards. The generation after this will have implants so that even speech will not be required.
