What will computers be like?

Computers will change;

They will have voice recognition, fuzzy query input systems;

Everything will be run by AI

They will become smaller, as piece of furniture, or a household appliance;

May be they will take control over our lives

Shopping, work, etc. will be done over computer

How will we communicate with computers?

By voice input for most applications

bigger role ofVR

Everything will be done via voice recognition

By voice-recognition, or perhaps neural-stimulus;

Common interface will support for all languages

Are we going to spend our whole time in Cyberspace?

It depends upon the development of nanotechnology;

Possibility to scan the entire brain into a computer, and make it operate there

People will use the net more;

Will watch TV less

Computers won’t substitute people

Will computers be intelligent?

They won’t resemble human intelligence

Computers will be more intelligent than humans in specific areas

Computers will become Thinkers by 2020 but they will not be intelligent until 2050
