These tablet questions have me wondering and remembering.

Forty years ago we had house phones (with cords!), vinyl & 8 tracks, no home computers, no e-mail, no VHS (or Beta). DH called from Italy and ten minutes about tripled the phone bill. I saw my first calculator - which was no small thing - in 1975 or '76.

Considering where technology is today, and even where it was 20 years ago (I know I wasn't discussing operating systems then), what's your best guess as to how communication and entertainment will be different in only 10 years?

Or maybe I should say five?

Holo-decks are still a ways off I think but I think a fully (AFFORDABLE )networked home is coming soon with your "TV" being able to control all the devices centrally. Your lights ,appliances , and media devices will have Apple Logos on them and be able to talk to each other :) I think that's where it is going; just this convergence of all things electronic.
