Predicting the Future

I love science fiction! Still, this week's assignment was rather difficult for me in some ways. I could come up with a lot of things that may happen in the future, but then I had to tie it together with some of the present day web giants. This was certainly a "loaded" assignment....very creative in making us familiar with what is going on in the here and now so that we could stem from that and look into future. I found it satisfying when I thought I came up with an idea only to conduct more research to learn that someone else had already thought of the same idea. I even branched out and looked at some other areas besides web design. One word: scary! I wonder if we'll end up being like those who believed in Buck Rogers in the 21st century. Are we way off the mark in our predictions? Time will tell.
