Well hopefully it'll be like it. Providing the word doesn't nuke them self first (hint: global warming and oil/water). Dream on....

What about the Atom that will implanted into our brains so that we no longer need a mouse and keyboard?? I mean sure, such a chip would require parental controls to keep us from constantly surfing to porn sites an ordering more beer, ice cream, and chocolate than we can consume, but it sure would be a time saver.

Funny, 40 years ago people thought we would be living like this, today.

What a horrible peace of fluff. Clearly it was all taken from a sheet of bullet points and there no research done. They don't know what "latency" means and why it happens, active sync is going to be old news by then, and there already are electronics that use fuel cells. So really, all Intel thinks is the world will be networked in 12 years?

In short, I raged

^ this doesn't seem that awsome in my opinion....

being controlled by a stupid hand held computer? I don't think so... telling us what to eat... i don't think so... it seems like a highly perfect society that will never occur in our life times... even if all this technology comes about by 2020... it won't be widespread enough to have any kind of impact...

frankly this life looks like it blows... technology does everything for us... sure thats nice we don't have to do anything... but then wheres the drive... we don't have to do anything... theres no sense of pride when you accomplish anything because some lame assed computer in the middle of no where is telling you what to do... complete crap

this just sets up the world for a government that controls everything you do... no thanks... i'll stick to the life I have now

"there is no longer any latency because the game is not running locally but centrally on a group of closely coupled servers that stream the video to our computers."

i don't get the point of this, there is still need of data transfer from the server to the client and video data is suppose to be larger then game data tho. i assume that the story is trying to tell that "i can play high quality 3d games even with a crap notebook thanks to streaming video"

Sounds like a horrible nightmare! I don't think people will accept the notion of computers telling them what to do. Plus I really do not believe that the world and home will be networked to such an extent. Firstly it requires standards and frankly how good is the IT industry at coming up with standards? Every company is in it for themselves, and heaven help us if it is all based on Intel and Windows technology.

Anyway, I know this is all crap because I have teleported to he future and it is run by Apple

What a horrible and ugly world to live in. In a total of a couple of hours in the morning, John Doe has effectively checked his email, given up the ability to feel safe in his own home due to the need of security cameras, been reminded that he hates his co-worker, been forced to choose which BS of media source he would like thrown in his face all day as the media exploits meaningless stories, reminded on a constant basis that his financial holdings are falling more rapid than his sugar level and that he needs to eat because he can't even acknowledge his stomach's growlings due to his constant connectivity to a home network that won't even let him have a face to face talk with his son. Nevermind that fact that his son is a manic depressant and doesn't need movie tickets and $100 for dinner for a date that won't even happen.

After his rediculously unproductive morning, John then decides it would be great to discuss business while gaming and doing a couple of quests in WoW, which then turns into the biggest distraction and John accomplishes nothing more than getting irritated that his lvl-120 Blood Elf Mage was pWnD by a lvl-100 Night Elf Rogue...

After a pathetically unproductive day at work, John proceeds to watch fake tv hosts that look like their funny counterparts and are even funnier, which asks the question, why are they even on in the first place if someone is funnier? John's mother is rather ill, and in the hospital, yet he decides its easier to send emails to her doctor and have the hospital correspond via automated systems telling him that his mother skipped her prescription. A rather uncaring incident, considering he doesn't even bother to call his mother to find out what is going on with her and could have easily had a bit of conversation and found out from her that her meds were making her sick. The best bit of information coming out of John's unsociable family gathering consisting of pda's and monitors with speakers and microphones that can't display faces correctly, is the fact that the iphone is TOAST!

Pathetic... whoever wants this life can have it. I currently have a wife, a dog, 2 pc's, a PS3, an LCD-HDTV and cell phone. This is MORE than enough to keep me occupied in this ADHD inflicted world. This makes me want to farm potatoes, chew tobacco, and ride tractors.

...As his co-worker is sitting in the cab, the taxi driver gets an incoming video message. A man in a blue uniform shows up on the screen and informs the driver that he should bring the cab to the nearest licenced vehicle service centre as a low oil level has been detected by the engine monitoring system. Also, a firmware update is being issued and uploaded to the cab's computer systems and the driver may see the screen briefly go off and on. The transmission ends with a blue Intel logo.
The navigational system alerts that the road ahead is closed for construction and a new route is given. The driver turns right at the next crossroad. The passenger notices that they have now diven into a beautifully decorated street, surrounded by trees and a lush green lawn with sprinklers generously sprayng water over it. He sees a large white building up ahead, surrounded by a park. Its shape has a slight resemblance to the White House, but in the centre stands a huge glass structure held by several pillars. Attached to it is a huge Intel logo. "So this is it," he thought as the cab drove past the mansion. He always wanted to see the Headquarters of the Intel Overlords up close. The mansion was built two years after Intel took power over Earth.
Nearing his destinaion he sees a grafitti painting on a wall. It consists of three letters, painted in green: A M D.

I know WoW has a great life span, but will people still be playing in 2020?

Lol. Thx for making me laugh.

So in the future is everyone going to World of Warcraft nerds who are so addicted that they play during a "business" meetings. With humans leading such unproductive, pampered lives we really will need robots in the future if any work is to be done.

How can you be 5 minutes late to a meeting when you work from home, your whole house is networked and you can do the meeting from the pda in your pocket?

 

[Guest]

Intel have been watching Eureka too many times.

 

[2020sucks]

A F*c*e* up future just like how F*c*e* up INTEL is.. Intel is talking future when all they know is adding core.. this article to me makes no sense to me other than a processor with 2020 core but still with same F*c*e* clock speed..

And underneath the letters AMD, barely visible exept to those that know how to find that which can not be found. VIA-va la revolucion!

Is this describing Sims 3: United Civilized State Faction of Earth 21x0 Trilogy? Good RTS game but not a good Sims material; even movie renditions of future outlook is better than this.

...and later in the day my wife and I check our pda to see whether we are both are feeling frisky, finding that we are, we align our atom based pda's sensors and begin. Afterwards my biometric mood sensor detects that I am tired and in need of nicotine. being health conscious it automatically books me onto a quit smoking course at the local community center.

I hope my life never comes to this......
