We all saw the future according to Spielburg in Minority Report. Your box of cereal will talk to you and inform you about your nutritional needs. Ads you walk by on the street will call you out by name and grab your attention like wisecracking carnival barkers. No longer sci fi, this is a preview of the future in as soon as 4 years. Moore's Law dictates downsizing screens to paper thin sheets and transparent panels that require so little power they will be cheap and so mass produced for just about everything. Our cities, our workspaces, and our homes will be merged with an increasingly smarter and more interactive internet, where data, images, and social media will flash around us at our slightest microdetected whim.
