Each electronic device (whether computer or gaming console, or even appliances oriented) will be able to communicate with each other through various new communication channels that will bring a new kind of connection to the world. Especially with person-to-person technology where you will no longer have to hold any sort of "phone" to your ear, but will be able to talk freely with no special tools, adapters, or other such devices.
