However tempered slightly by the news that touchscreens could be on the way out:

Geek alert :@-computer:

So Arm's latest processors, A chip that's only 1mm x 1mm capable of 32 bit processing that takes hardly any power and cost only 20pence.

A 1mm X 1mm chip in every appliance. Sounds like it will happen.
Couple that with a jacket/shirt that generates electricity and wearable computers are one step closer.
Couple these with a TerraHz mobile/cellular network and augmented realities will be here to stay.

There's prob a big 'but' in there somewhere. (fnarr, fnarr. I said big butt). I shall look on these developments with anticipation and optimism. I want it all and I want it now. (Queen, I want it all)
