Future 🏁
“Gone will be keyboards, the mouse, and screens,”
omnipresent utility, something we expect to always be available and around us... intertwined in our daily lives.
Information will be displayed, floating in the air ... the web will appear in the real world, not just on glass screens.
“Strangers will be identified, with increasingly detailed information about them presented,
“People will subscribe to different augmentations, much as we now subscribe to magazines.”
