Predictions...
“This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.
The device is inherently of no value to us.”
Western Union internal memo, 1876

“Computers in the future may weight no more than 1.5 tons.”Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949

So what will the future bring? (probably)
Mobile takes center stage
Everything becomes connected and interacts (Machine 2 Machine)
All kinds of content databases will be connected
All incoming data is filtered based on your location and context
Sensors will be everywhere
Mass social participation
Logic decisions are made and the best solutions are suggested
Your mobile will take over all boring things and let you focus on the nice things of life.
Your mobile will be your PERSONALDIGITALASSISTANT
and maybe a real “remote control of your life.” !?

Thank you!and keep your eyes open (for our projects)
