1. Smaller faster, cheaper, lighter computers for the desktop. They will be no larger than a DVD drive. They will be silent, and run free software, and much of this will be web based. They will use solid state disks, and large quantities of cheap memory.
2. More powerful mobile phones will largely replace traditional PCs, tablets, and laptops. They will connect wirelessly to television sets and folding keyboards to enable a new era of mobile working. The screens of mobiles will occupy as much of the phone as physicallly possible. "Soft buttons will replace mechanical buttons.
3. Sophisticated screen display technology will be available that will allow us to use bigger computer monitors in smaller less likely workplaces.
