The website Mashable.com has a must read article called, “8 Current Technologies That Will Shape Our Future”. Some of the topics covered include personal mobile computers (PMC) which is the future generation of smart phones, home wireless hotspots to augment 4G cell phone networks, cloud computing goes mobile, information glasses meet PMC’s, social networking will be more integrated with the business world where you’ll be able to pre-meet people before the actual business meeting, custom 3D CAD software that lets consumers design personalized products and autonomous cars with driver control as an option.
Besides the photos and videos of current products that may turn into future products and trends, what I like is the mental leap the writer Rick Chin takes in this article. The technological assumptions are perfectly plausible and logical.
Another aspect that I give a thumbs-up to in this article and believe myself to be true is that in the future we will be more mobile than ever before (if we choose to be). We will have access to people, information, applications no matter where we are physically located at a given moment in time. This is both intriguing now and will be empowering then.

I told my gradnmohter how you helped. She said, “bake them a cake!”
Or better yet, create an app that will bake a cake for you. 🙂
