Frankly, if you think about it, it's not terribly hard for those in the industry to predict where it's going with a reasonable level of accuracy. I deal a lot in computers myself and I can tell you some trends; cloud computing, mobile-desktop convergence, the rise of walled-garden software centers, etc. To the general public it looks odd in retrospect, but to anyone in the industry it merely looks like the implementation of what had already been in the lab at the time.

I thought the AT&T commercials were interesting not just the ideas that became real in some form or another but also the ones that didn't like the cell phone built into a wristwatch. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some wristwatch out there that also doubles as a phone but it seems to me that most people I know use their phone to tell the time which has kind of made the wristwatch obsolete. At least amongst younger generations. I still see a lot of older folks wearing watches. | |||
