In 10-15 years...?

in the year three thousund!

In the year three thousand, a small cult of computer users will drive volvo station wagons with Windows bumper stickers as a symbol of rebellion against the computing norm.

This small group of people will gather at a yearly exodus in the desert and watch grainy video of their mythical leader "Bawl Mur" gyrate his body to a thing that was once called "mewzik"

I think that in 10 years computing will be relativley the same only the components will change. Mechanical hard drives will most likely be replaced with a flash derivative or organic storage solution. Processors will be smaller, more efficient and possibly intellegent.

I see holographic storage (or some derrivative) being implemented, and the necessity for a keyboard and mouse being removed. As shown in the video linked to, just have avirtual keyboard on the screen and let your fingers be the mouse. Throw in better speak recogntion and you're set.

Who is to say, anything could happen, heck we could be hit by a meteor tomorrow and be back thrust back into the dark ages for all we know.

Actually, that's not going to happen until 2012, so we have a few years yet before we have to worry about that.

BTW: Physics (and all knowledge) is all comprised of made up explanations and postulations for something we cannot understand fully, our understanding is an approximation and nothing is an absolute truth or definitive answer - always challenge the "truth" for that leads to greater progression.

Absolutely. We humans are primitive and have a very limited grasp on how the universe really works. We have much to learn.
