Predicting the Technology of the Future

Farhad Manjoo, a tech writer at Slate, is going to be launching a a new series called The Future of Innovation. He explains the purpose of the column as this:

For the next few weeks, I'll be writing a series of articles on the next wave of transformations—the trends that will affect our lives over the next five or 10 years. I'm going to look beyond this year's phones, tablets, and Web sites to ask—and try to answer—deep questions about tomorrow's tech. What will mobile computers look like in 2016? What's the coolest gadget you'll have in your house? Will we finally get home entertainment systems that don't require an advanced degree to operate? What frustrating tech problems will still have gone unsolved?


I think this will be interesting to keep an eye on, and see what he thinks are going to be the major technological advances and products, as well as the issues we'll have to address.

What do you think the next ten years might look like for tech and social media?

I read his book "True Enough" last semester, which was excellent. I have no doubt this will be interesting, I'll def. follow along! Thanks for the heads up.
