Technology in 30 Years

Lightsabers and/or Laser-shooting Guns

• The idea has already been thrown out there from Star Wars. I would actually be surprised if someone somewhere wasn’t already working on inventing these.
• How cool would it be to watch lightsaber battles?
• May the force be with you.

Holographic Calling

1. A combination of Skype/Facetime, but in 3D
2. It’s not a new concept. We’ve seen this form of communication in many Sci-Fi television programs and film.
3. For a recent concert, there was a holograph of Tupac performing on-stage. Now we just have to learn how to make the technology live and mobile.

The Death of Facebook

• All great things must come to an end.
• Will we go back to more face-to-face communication or become more intwined with virtual relationships?

I was recently shown this website and thought it related to the conversation that we had last lecture. Thought you all would enjoy!
