Look with me 10 years into the future. You end a long day and fire up your computer as you get home. Notice it isn’t really the computer you now own, but more akin to a cable or satellite box. Now, after changing into something more comfortable, you have some choices to make.

I was just thinking the other day about what cyber space will be like in the year 2050 for many of our younger posters. Considering what we have today was almost unimanagable 20 years ago, 40 or 50 years down the road seems even more so that way.

I'm wondering if you'll be able to flush a toilet 20 years from now if your internet server goes down.....or will your garage door open so you can simply go to work?

Too many bells and whistles for the average Joe to learn already....they call it "windows" because when you go to fix something or change something a window pops up telling you an item already exists and whether you want to rewrite it.....pretty soon you've got 5 or 6 windows stacked on top of each other and the problem isn't anywhere near being fixed.....that is the true definition of "windows".....

I'll take the advice of a Mr. Frank Abignail, famous paperhanger and author of at least two books which I have read both, his life portrayed in the movie "Catch Me if You Can": He plainly states to NEVER use a credit card over the internet.....the first and only time he did his cc number got loose and he had all kinds of credit problems to deal with.....

Being involved in gambling as a hobby and having been firsthand witness to the ease of placing bets at a sportsbook through the internet is about the only real value I have placed on owning a computer......beats the hell out of using the phone when you can see the whole rundown of numbers right in front of your eyes.....

Having said that, if I wasn't gambling I would in all probability let this technology acquire dust or simply take a sledgehammer to it and let the garbageman haul away all the little broken bits...

I am a firm believer that 5 or 10 or even twenty years from now they will still be trying to increase connection speeds to the speed of light, and they will still have a system of poor servers and technology that is incomprehensible and basically unworkable to the common user.....basically they are building Indy type cars but have yet to invent something simple as a lug nut to keep the wheels from falling off.

It's all about the almighty dollar.....build it, get it out on the street, make the dollar.....figure out the bugs later on and pride and workmanship can take a back seat, just make that dollar.
