Well lets hope by then we have a Voice orientated operating system and we move away from a graphical user interface.

Changes in technology over the next 20 years!
That's a very creative topic...*
Meanwhile, we have to think following different angles, that's why I would like to hear from everybody here what he?she thinks of this issue regarding the following aspects:
1- Armament manufacturing technology
2- Communication/ IT
3- Agriculture
4- Heavy machinery
5- Transportation
6- Construction methods/equipment
7- Space technology
8- Renewable and environmentally friendly fuel

Interesting topic. Changes in technology in the next 20days are highly unpredictable, talk more of 20years. But we are free to guess?
Lets look at it sector by sector:
In Agriculture, i would expect more shift towards bio-engineered species of plants and animals that would reduce time of cultivation, resist pests/diseases and increase yield. We may even have some clonned species that could thrive on arid land without water!
In Telecommunications, the sizes of telephones and TVs to continue to reduce with higher efficiencies. The means of communication would continue to improve until one would need to only swallow a sensitive capsule and all one need do to call any other person is to think of the person. Means of spying into other countries' activities would also increase by almost the same magnitude.
In medicine, we may soon not need doctors or nurses any more. I believe plans are underway to create robbots and a patient needs to only pass through to find out the cause of his/her ailments. The robbots would then perform the needed operation and take care of the nursing requirements. If the technology is not in your country, I believe there would be facilities that would enable you to download the software on your laptop, just by pressing a button! Marriages would certainly not be necesary then because the sperm bank would have all the stock of sperm/blood they need to clone all the Eisteins, Bill gates, Hitlers and so on of this world. Besides, sex then would be riskier than eating an apple because by then, the sexually transmitted diseases that afflict people to epidemic propotions would be so numerous that it would make AIDS sound like child's play.
Fuel? Oh, solar energy would be more expensive than water, therefore there would be competition as to the use of water, as a source of reuseable energy and for other domestic purposes.
International trade? Waoow, most of the food and other needs of man would be grown/manufactured in the developed nations and shipped to the DWARFED NATIONS (as developing nations now would then be called) and sold to them at exhorbitant prices under WTO policies. Those in the dwarfed nations would have no choice because by then, their own crops and manufactured products would be labelled "sub-standard and unfit for human consumption"
I will continue in my next contribution.

Don't you think that a world with a bunch of Hitlers and Einsteins would be a decent place to live ?
Aldous Huxley had very similar speculations about the future back in the 1930s, when he wrote his Brave New Wolrd.

It really looks like a dream, but are you sure about the "source" of the values to be put in such a device....
In other words, who will be the party putting the set of "values" with which the device will operate ?

1. Nuclear weapons replaced by rail guns.
2. Postal addresses replaced by GPS co-ods.
3. Cars that run on compressed air.

In the case of the weopons industry i believe their will be a large use of railguns in battle. As well if the feilds adavance engough their will the use of EMP weopons and asstiant AI in battlefeild coditions. Communication industry will hopefully being using something near a superconductor for electronics and replacement of regular cables. Farming will most likely go into hypronic farming due to easier use of machines for such labor intensive crops such as strawberries, lettuce,..etc. Transportation will be changed by the use of electric cars using hydrogen fuel cells. Future energy means will most likely be a combination of wind, solar panels, and the use of nuclear power. Nucleur power being far more clean by having more efficant designs: aswell , as reclying the spent fuel from reactors instead of the common and hazardous pratice of burying the waste.

20 years from now you will be living in a world much the same as it is now...
I will be looking in to the water transport industry, if i can figure out how to transport lots of NZ's water to other parts of the world......
nanotechnology will be the big one of the next few decades... thats where you will see all your changes.

In agriculture, I expect farmers to be using a portable soil lab, like the size of the mobile phones whereby you just go with it on your farm, shine its infrared light source on the soil and a fingerprint like spectral signature is recorded on its screen immediately telling you the soil fertility deficiency of that spot for you to input the appropriate fertilizer required. No need of soil sampling for laboratory conventional analysis!

very interesting topic
well for my thoughts about that :
1- combining nano and bio tech to insert nano chips in human body (they are already working in such a project in europe) so imagine a chip they implant you with then when you go to a doctor instead of doing scans and going to labs all what will the doc do is just pressing some buttons on his computer and the chip inside you give him a detailed report about whats going on inside pretty huh 
2- computers will be really insanity that you will have a computer at home that is capable of processing a whole nuclear facility or simulating a whole city life (a supercomputer relies on parallel processing of multiple processors at the same time already AMD promieses the release of a 48 core processor by mid 2008 for pc users and by knowing that one of the worlds largest super computers got 5000 running processors so in 20 years imagine AMD developing a microprocessor with 5000 core inside it for pc users)
3- Robots : probably every one will have a robot that does the home work for him cleaning dishes ironing and all other stuff that makes you feel like a human even thou you dont lik doing them (guess I robot the movie wasnt from outter space i suspect that is happening in like no longer then 30 years from now)
4-cars vehicles will be running with an magnetic field with a polarity similar to the ground so the more intense is the field the higher your vehicle goes up (you know + and + runs on the opposite direction so by knowing the polarity of the place you are on and making the same with a magnetic field voila you can fly.)
