What sorts of tech gadgets do you imagine we’ll have in the year 2044?

Right now we’ve got iphones, ipods, remote starters for your car, powerful computers that are the size of a childrens book, wifi, hands free, GPS, TomTom, digital cameras, voice activated everything, etc…

I love kseigal’s idea about the bed! I want to make love in a bed like that! 8^)

We are seeing a lot of integration now–cellphones with cameras and GPS, GPSs with MP3 players, etc. I think we’ll see a lot more of that. TVs, computers, media players, GPSs, cellphones, internet terminals, etc. etc. will all come together into general ‘electronic devices’. They’ll probably come up with some good name for them, like iGizmo.

Notice how small cellphones and MP3s have gotten in just the last few years. It’s just a matter of time before we’re wearing them on the ear like a bluetooth earpiece, and then -inside- the ear like a hearing aid. These could also have GPS and guide you to your destination with voice commands. (“Now turn left up there by the gas station. It’s the fourth house on the left, with the birch tree. Watch out for that kid on the bike!”)

I have seen ‘glasses’ that have little TV screens on them. They could be made into real glasses that you wear all the time. You could watch TV on them, or other kinds of media, or use them as computer monitors. They are always with you, always connected to the Internet, integrated with your phone and your GPS and your MP3 player and video camera and. . . well, you get the idea.

We are now only starting to realize remote-control devices. I mean calling your phone and entering codes on the keypad to turn on your heat, record stuff on your TV, thaw something for dinner, warm up your bed, etc. We’ll see a lot more of this integrated into the Internet and your personal in-ear phone/media device/Internet terminal.

WiFi will die, and good riddance! It will be replaced by something more universal. Wireless Internet that you can carry with you anywhere. Maybe a satellite-based system that you can use anywhere in the world, like GPS is today.
