How much change we have seen in the last 10 years?

What will the world look like in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years?

What will the “word of the year” be in 2030?

What will be the next “internet”?

What problems will the world face?

What problems will individuals face?

microSD is a format for removable flash memory cards commonly found in mobile phones, cameras, GPS devices etc.

8 GB = 8192 MB = $35.95

“The computer in your

cell phone today is a

million times cheaper and

a thousand times more

powerful and about a

hundred thousand times

smaller than the one

computer at MIT in

1965…

…So what used to fit in a building,

now fits in your pocket..

…what fits in your pocket now will fit

inside a blood cell in 25 years”
