So I've often wondered what everything we know will be like in 10 - 20 years time? If I could travel in time now and go to the year 2027 would I recognise what I see around me? I guess in a way I'm lucky that I was born when I was born because all I've known is how to adapt to different technology. In the 21st century technology has evolved so much people who aren't used to this quick I change might get left behind.
It's amazing though how people predict things for dates and when that date comes nothing really happens. For example in 2005 Ray Kurzweil believed that:
"By 2010 computers will disappear. They’ll be so small, they’ll be embedded in our clothing, in our environment. Images will be written directly to our retina, providing full-immersion virtual reality, augmented real reality. We’ll be interacting with virtual personalities."
How wrong was he? We're nowhere near that but he's a person that is very smart with technology and the future of how technology may turn out. Just goes to show no-one can truly predict the future.
