I remember the first televisions, our “moon landing”, the cell phone (with a bag carrying the battery), the first computers, the first commercial business software programming language, the PC, “Stem Cells” and many other big technology events.

Imagine what is in store for the coming generations. I see a device that may or may not resemble the cell phone being used for business, personal and shared use. I see a day when there is a very small “chip” identification code carried in the skin or blood stream that contains our SSN (for lack of another unique number), a master user id and password control, that we use for commerce, medical, and business purposes. Morover, I see the same “code chip” enabling a complete integration of communication and intertainment for each of us.

I see a day when nanotechnology will make it possible for us to “connect” this integration medium to our walls, our bathroom mirror, our car, our sunglasses, our vehicles or simply to each other. Imagine is the key operative word.

We may not need a separate phone, PC or laptop, television, conferencing equipment, credit card, or a formal office. Can you imagine?

Anyway, I see Web 3.0 leading us into a major economic, social and environmental paradigm, if you will, that combines and provides integrated communication and entertainment convergence and capability on a scale not unlike what we have already seen to date since the 1940’s. Coupling the convergence with the medium possibilities of nanotechnology may indeed change everything!
