Predicting the Future - Mother of all markets or a pipe dream driven by greed? - Ken Norton: "Stuck in traffic on a business trip, an executive carrying a personal communicator could send and receive messages from anywhere in the country. She could also call up a local map on a screen, [enter] her intended destination, and the device would give her specific driving instructions (as well as real-time warnings about traffic jams or accidents). Certainly, these are just predictions for now, but they sure are fun to think about.
Once in the meeting, the executive could take notes on the device, and even order pizza for the group. After updating her schedule electronically and sending notes back to her office, she could check restaurant and movie information, including critics’ reviews. Back at the hotel, she could [read] the latest novel."
