Internet Wall

The progress in OLED (organic light emitting diode) material in recent years indicates that the following prophecies of Dr. Kaku are likely to be realized in 2030s. 
Computer and Internet on the wall displaying 3-D images (Family gatherings taking place via wall screens)
Flexible and super-thin electronic OLED paper used everywhere, reducing laptops to folding and transparent sheets of paper.

Currently, OLED is already the preferred screen used by high-class portables such as cell phones or other wearable goods. It is also used for big TV screens such as 55 or 65 inches. Of course, they are rather expensive now. It is reasonable to assume that the price of OLED will be one hundredth of the current price in 15 to 20 years. In 2030s, OLED will be used as wall paper which becomes Internet  screens, or used as folding computers put in the pockets like note books.
