The Future of Computer
I love the books by Dr. Kaku, as his scientific projections take me into the future of the 21st Century and beyond. This time, let me take up his projection about what will become of the computer.
 
Indeed, as he points out, computers are now become ubiquitous. All the goods around us starting from cars to kitchen goods embed some kinds of computers. As far as computers per say are concerned, they are embodied in smart phones today. Especially the young generation is said to be using smart phones exclusively (no computers). Even I had to learn how to use a smart phone at last and practice text inputs with one finger which is very difficult for me to do.
What will happen to the computer in the next 15 years? Dr. Kaku forecasts that computers and Internet will be brought on your glasses and contact lenses by attaching a cylindrical lens to the glass or inserting a chip and LED in the contact lens.  The GoogleGlass could be a forerunner of what we will see coming.

 
Computer Forecast 1 (~2030): Use computers and see Internet on our glasses and contact lenses.
