This is probably a bit too late since the year has already begun, but I predict the future will be the age of wireless supremacy.
I know, some of you will think but it already is wireless. We have wireless networks in schools, homes, and public areas. We use it for a whole range of purposes.
And I'm not debating that fact. But, I personally think wireless will rise to a whole new level, and at a cheaper one too.
For example, you just had a long day at work, and can't wait to go home and enjoy a good bath. Why wait till you reach home till switch on the heater? Simply send a text to your home number with a special code, and voila! A nice soothing and warm bath the second you reach home.
Or, you already preset your fish feeder to feed your fish (duh!) at a certain time each day, but today has been such a stressful day and you want to relax and watch your fish eat. Just log in to your control panel through remote access online, or through some web portal, change the timing to immediate, and simply watch via live streaming through the wireless camera in your home your wireless fish feeder feeding your wireless fish. (I just couldn't resist the wireless fish pun)
Perhaps you're a busy student bustling with numerous projects, and you realize you can't make it in time for dinner. Your parents are one of those who strive to keep up with technology, but simply can't understand sms lingo, and their memory isn't so good. Just send an sms to a certain number that will display a 'Will Not Be Back For Dinner - Son' message on the wireless whiteboard. You can even specify for it to be flashed three times, coupled with a notification sound, and make it a sticky, which means your parents can't delete it 'accidentally'.
That's the future I picture, and I bet it'll come really soon.
Note: I went to google the products mentioned before, and they can be found, thus the following links. I'm not saying such products isn't impossible, but rather that they gain more popularity among us.
