1.) What do you think about all the wonderful inventions we were supposed to have already according to television?
I think that as humans we tend to imagine more things than we can steadily create. Back to the future has always kept my dreams of having a hover board alive, when i first saw the film i really wanted one. According to the file in about four years we are supposed to have these hover boards. According to the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, our androids are supposed to dream of electric sheep. I will not disagree that having such inventions like hover boards or robot maids are tempting but we will probably not reach sentinel police forces by 2013.
2.) What will people do with the Internet in the next five to ten years that has not been done yet?
I honestly think that technology can reach places, but not as far as hover boards just yet.  I really do hope that we can get little tablets that can work like laptops, these panels can configure themselves into different sizes. That is my hope, but thinking realistically we just might switch all Internet to wi-fi. It seems as if over time the main purpose of technology is to make things easier and not have to use as many wires as before.  I remember seeing Futurama and how Fry was both surprised and disappointed in the future, he thought that man-kind would reach farther but in some ways it did. I just honestly hope that certain actions will be easier to perform.
