Not sure where it will be in 20 years, but I want my flying car damnit!!!!!!!!
If anything there will be a market shift and you will see more diversity than just Windows running around. I also think you will technology get smaller and run cooler. There is a reason why quad core processors aren't in laptops they consume too much power and create too much heat. Things like that will definitely get better.

- Mobility: we will see technology in small devices improve. Better graphics processing for cellphones.
- Internet: infrastructure that is built to support high-bandwidth data streaming. Internet providers that can finally meet the demands of YouTube. TV broadcasters will move to internet.
- Wireless: city-wide WiFi networks will probably replace the need to upgrade to fiber optics? WiFi phones will probably replace cell phone towers and satellites. WiFi is going to be an important part in providing poorer countries with access to the internet.
- Social networking: I think the future will be about being even more connected than we are today. Social networking will probably integrate into school, work, politics. I think governments will start taking advantage of the technology to speed up beaurocratic processes.
- Weapons: We will see smarter and more powerful bombs. New wars with North Korea, and whoever else is slightly irritant. War is good for the arms trade business. The leading-edge technology always appears in bombs first.
- Space: Might see some more expansion into space technologies. Human desire to explore wants to go beyond earth.
- Environment: I think a large impact will be overpopulation. Less room, less resources, and more pollution. We will be looking for ways to cope with the stresses on environment. Green technology will have to be one of the main focuses if we are to sustain our population. Clean energy generation. Low emission vehicles.
I also hear that within 30 years 66% of the world will face some sort of stress to find drinking water. Just another one of the points for technology to prove itself.
- Business: I think the trend is that most businesses are moving to a 24-hour time schedule. In my area, we see grocery stores and fitness club are open 24 hours a day now. I think we will see that a dark sky does not mean it is the end of the day. So we will see technology integrate into retail. More businesses listing their inventory online. Shopping from your cellphone, and then picking it up at the nearest location.
- Globalization: as we see with recent economic conditions, we are all connected. A financial shift in one country is felt around the world. India and China are big players, and if we are to have a stable economy, we have to work for stability in other countries too. This sort of ties into the idea of 24-hour business - as it is night time here, half-way around the world the business day has just begun.
We will see improvement in cheap technology to help undeveloped countries build their infrastructure and become connected with the global community.

I think linux and apple will be bankrupt, and windows will have like a 99 percent marketshare, but os/2 will make a comeback to get 12 percent.
just a noob

how can linux go bankrupt? its completely open source, and as far as i can remember, nobody really owns it

Linux distros like red hat enterprise aren't free, but I don't have time to explain that it would take hours.

Apple is gaining market share at the moment... im pretty sure you were kidding in that post, cuz os/2 is dead>_>
I realy dont know what to expect of the future,I hope its going to be good,but every year seems to get even more crappy atm.
I do agree with the points Marcin said though...
About the "Business" part...yeah more stores staying open 24/7....7 days a week but not only that....many simple things like cashiers in stores....general factory operatives and such will be replaced by machines that can do it for free and dont need a break.

Nothin wrong with apple... there are lots of uses where macs are much more suited for than pc's.

He's talking about how apple has on average 76 percent more problems during the first year of ownership than pc's.

76 percent more problems? Where in the heck did you get that number? Also I was referring to your comment on OS/2 gaining a market share, and by the way your math is off as you have 99% and 12% which makes 11% over the actual total amount you can have of a market share.

Also, to those people saying open source software doesn't cost any money to make are wrong. There is no such thing as a free lunch. It may be free to download and free to use but it still costs the organizations money to develop it, host websites for it, and so forth.
Open source software also generates about 500 million dollars a year in revenue, so there is a business model in place to make money off of it.

What are you talking about? I said OS/2 Will make a COMEBACK to get 12 percent, 99-12=87, so 87 for windows, and 12 for os/2/ecomstation1.2R/2.0 -.-
