Name: Christopher Clark

From: Ohio

Bio: Internet user since early '90s; I'm young enough to be around when these predictions come to light

Area of Expertise: Advocate/Voice of the People

Topic: Technology

Headline: Wholistic Fusion

Nutshell: Technology will be pervasive and integrated.

Vision:

All internet will be high-speed, and wireless The watch, cell phone, laptop, palm pilot, MP3 player, camera, pager, keyless car entry, and even your wallet, will become one piece of conveniently utile hardware. The limits to minimization (a screen and keypad that fits our hands) will be overcome by smoother voice control, holographic displays, and some kind of glove to make said display into a touch screen. If automatic driving is ever perfected, on highways for example, the front windshield will also be widescreen theatre.
