I find it strange that the future is both nothing like and exactly what we imagine it to be. The popular trends for future applications seem to remain popular enough to emerge but the ways in which they are executed tend to be radically different than the first visions. Without a doubt we will look back with humor at what we thought the future might be. As an exercise to see where my research may find applications in the future, I thought it would be helpful to look at what others are imagining.

Microsoft Vision 2019
(Ubiquitous Screens)

Intel UMPC vision of future mobile technology.
(Devices and systems we already have that look cooler)

1950’s video of the future of communications.
(Skype and email)

1981 Vision of the Future: The Internet.
(Sorry newspaper corporations, you may have seen the future but it looks like you never saw your eventual demise.)

Discovery Channel: 2057
(Silly. But who knows, they may be right)
