When I was in elementary school we were asked to describe what the world will be like 25 years from then. None of our predictions came true. Extrapolating from the observations about what computers are capable of doing today I can make the following predictions:
- Computers will be much smaller and lightweight. Imagine laptops the size of an iPOD with "virtual" inputs and outputs.
- User input will be much more efficient, we will not use mouse, rather our hands, or we will tell computer what to do ( already done to some degree).
- Many moving parts will be replaced with faster and cooler forms of communication and storage ( flash hard drives vs. hard disc; fiber optics or just simply light vs. traditional ways used for computation.)
- Output will change to higher resolution monitors, or rudimentary "holograms" and 3D displays; even paper thin monitors.
- Whatever still have wires will probably go wireless.
- A.I. will be able to interpret simple vocal commands and carry out simple conversations.
- Computers will find many more real - life applications: health care, inventing new drags, performing surgeries, flying planes, fighting wars (they already do it to some degree),teaching, cooking and cleaning(let's hope), paying complements, cheering up...
