I didn't expect an answer to that question, you're too modest



It's almost head spinning how fast technology is changing. Within a couple of years smartphones and tablets have replaced laptops & desktops, I think if Wearable tech i.e. Google Glass/Augmented reality hits the ground running we're going to see massive changes in how surfers use the internet.

If you factor in Augmented reality, Artificial Intelligence along with improvements in Voice Search (Siri etc) and Kinect Motion Sensor we're talking about a scene from Minority Report becoming reality very soon.



This episode of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror is probably a good representation of where we are headed with technology but without Charlie Brooker's dark twisted outlook.

I think a lot of the features will have the potential to save time and allow people to multi task better but I fear it's going to put a lot of us out of a job online and the entire structure of how we currently use the internet i.e. Typing, Searching etc will become obsolete.

Question, Answer, Done.

Totally agree with you that everything will become even more on demand than it currently is, it's probably gonna make society as a whole very very impatient



Interesting... I was actually describing myself Wanted to ask the question because that's what I struggle with most, I struggle to get past a certain level of growth when it involves handing over tasks to other people. In my case it's not because I'm incredibly talented, it's more because I'm a complete and utter control freak!

Thanks for the book recommendation, I'll order a copy now and hopefully I'll learn some useful info from it.



Thanks!

A few people where asking some pretty tame questions so I thought I'd use this opportunity to ask you interesting questions and you certainly haven't dissapointed with your answers.

That's some great advice and again I'd just like to thank you for spending the time to reply and in such detail

One last thing, as a Man United supporter I'd just like to say I hope we beat you on Sunday
Yesterday was a very good day for Blues Fans! Sorry it didn't work out well for you guys
