The New York Times has launched a fun, new interactive crowd-sourced feature that asks its readers to help predict the future of computing.
How it works is readers collaboratively edit a timeline with
predictions categorized into computing, artificial intelligence,
transportation and lifestyle, and communication. The timeline is then
divided into three main sections: past advances, future predictions that
you can push forward or backward in time and a voting mechanism for
each prediction submitted.
My favorite and most-wanted prediction: In
2297 Teletransportation will make it possible for people to move
instantaneously between locations by changing form—disappearing on
one end and materializing at the other.
