What's The Next New Thing? What do you think?

[Kenji4861]

I ask my friends and they tell me "wireless networking" which I disagree, but everyones stubborn in my group.

What do you think is the next big thing (technology)?

Not necessarily wireless networking, but wireless everything.

no more cables from your keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, Bluetooth everything.

I agree, wireless EVERYTHING. Not only peripherals, but everything in your home and all your gadgets. Some examples are wireless phones, wireless pdas, wireless notebooks, wireless tivo, wireless mp3 player, wireless fridge, wireless toaster, etc...
When I say wireless I am not talking about 802.11b but more along the lines of connectivity anywhere.
Wireless phones might seem like a duh, but I am referring to having only a wireless phone and no landline. Many people are already going this route.
Wireless pda/laptop are getting more popular, but its only 802.11b which is limited imo. Luckily data services like unlimited dl from t-mobile are coming into the market and the service availability/performance are improving every year.

Imo wireless is the next big thing because it will allow us to be connected to each other in many more ways then before, it has and will continue to change the way people interact with each other. Way back when we only had phones at our home and people interacted with each other when they got home or maybe when they hung out with you. Then we got pagers and people were able to contact each other more efficiently so meet ups were able to be set up more on the spot. Then everyone got cell phones so even though you are out doing errands or taking a crap in the bathroom people can contact you can get information, set up meetings, yell at you, etc pretty much instantly. With everything going wireless esp data going wireless people will now be able to send data to each other instantly/on demand. It wont be put the report on my desk at 5, instead it will be send the report to my pda RIGHT NOW! People will be to send pictures of things they see then right away using digital camera/cell phone and emailing it to all their friends using wireless access through cell phone/pda/laptop. People wont say OH man you should have seen that!, instead they will send the captured video/picture to their friends and say OH man check this out!. No longer can people say I wish I was there because you can stream video through your camera which has wireless access to their comps. The possiblities are endless.

People who say wireless is not the next new/big thing are close minded can not see how it has and will change our society and everything around us.
