    This is kind of scary as much it is exciting. The world is moving so fast. I cant believe couple of years ago we used to use dial up connection, that would take ever to connect and if someone had to use the phone you had to disconnect.

    Awesome videos! The Intel UMPC vision video is the best! Imagine driving hands free (LOL. I did not see the Chinese man actually grip the steering wheel!), with a traffic guide! :)

    Great videos. Thanks a lot. It is really interesting to know what will be in 50 years, what everything will be like. I’ve seen one movie about what would happen to the world if one day all the people disappear. Here is the short review of it: http://www.tubesfan.com/watch/life-after-people-earth-population-0 . I think it is possible. Of course not in 50 years but in several centures. Unfortunatelly we don’t tackle the problem of global warming that is why once it can happen that people will not be able to live on this planet.
