Bio: Multimedia

Area of Expertise: Technology Developer/Administrator

Topic: Technology

Headline: Computers inside us, not just around us

Nutshell: Technology will enable use to do things that previously were only foreseen in science-fiction novels.

Vision:

With the continued miniaturization of computers, eventually the technology will get small enough to be surgically implanted in people’s brains.

Everyone will have new capabilities; the disabled will be able to move muscles that they had not previously been able to move; the blind will be able to see.

These computers will have wireless technology, which will enable people to send TMail, (Telepathic mail).
