It's a case of whether people will actually want to order off a digital menu, rather than a tactile, highly flexible paper menu. Will there will always be a problem of digital services not feeling authentic, or nostalgic or embedded? It's a metaphor for any number of 'future' services. Unless the experience is has all the nuances, limitations and quirks of analogue services - will they be adopted by the mass market? Technology companies need to work with artists and designers to make this happen. The SMS example was interesting because it's taken 10 years for SMS to become second nature - it's almost a biological extension of us.

The point you are missing that people outside the industry simply cant be bothered with that type of interactivity. People inside the industry, yes, but 'joe public' simply will not be able to be bothered with setting permissions, adding people, touching their phones, ordering food on their mobile, rating their meals so friends can see! Utter nonsense from science fiction books that it will happen in 5 years. It might happen, to an extent, but not for 15+ years. Rex Hi,

But how do we get to that from the current state of Internet consumerism? How do you convince people that they can control their information?

This technology is just around the corner. Think of your wallet. What purpose does it serve? >Carries payment options >Carries Government issued ID We know that mobiles will soon take the job of wallet by providing funds, but I'm curious to see how they'll implement government issued ID. Imagine getting pulled over for speeding and handing the police officer your cellphone which would contain both, license and registration! :grin: I am mainly excited to be able to pay via my mobile.

Playing with your proposed scenario: you order airline tickets and after you complete your purchase the flight times and dates get added to your personal calender which, depending on your privacy settings, only your closest friends have access to, or anyone else who has subscribed to your publicly published personal calender.

Nearby friends, permission based contact from companies you have interacted with before etc, could all be done over BT. Also won't somebody remember the old people/tech ludites All those people who only have/use the most basic of handsets. Another scenario: You book a flight, and the when the confirmation SMS comes through it automatically triggers an SMS to all of your friends (who are interested or near), of your travel dates. This sounds like a similar idea to Dopplr, but without the website, or your friends subscribing to the service, as your phone knows who your friends are, and their address (the phone might need to reach into the cloud to see if they are near your destination) any particular reason you see NFC taking over from bluetooth?

No comments? Have you left everybody speechless? I have to say I do think you've seen the future. And depicted it quite accurately. Very interesting stuff and an article I'll recommend to everyone I know. Other usage scenarios? I have to tell you I don't know. I'm too busy being angry at my tv for not having WiFi. Or my DVD player. I want to use UPnP and DLNA, but am not willing to buy a Playstation. Annoyances like this occupy most of my time. So congratulations on talking about the future! I'll try to be less trapped by the present and maybe have time to focus on the future. Which I sure hope will come sooner rather than later. What? No comments? Have you left everybody speechless?
