Well, that's my prediction of the world in just a few years. Actually it won't look so strange to us by then because we would be used to such sights. Anyway, what is your prediction for the next BIG thing in cellphones?

I think the next big thing in cell phones will be phones equipped with a new Rove-band com channel we can use to coordinate campaigns to round up DUmmies and put them in Wal*mart detention centers.

Geez, just what I want. Somebody browsing the internet while they're supposed to be driving. It's bad enough that they're allowed to talk on the phone and lose all sense of what's going on around them while they're driving.

I think Scott Adams thought of this first; he had a strip where Dilbert was walking around with his head thrown back, fingers twitching in the air in front of him. He comes across a man doing the same thing and says "Ah, I see you are an engineer!" The other guy goes "No, I'm retarded. Common mistake."

Or something like that.

The next big gimmick will be in billing.

Right now, if you were use your cell phone to call me, you have to pay -- but with this new gimmick, I would pay as well, even though you are the one placing the call. So we would both end up paying for a call with this new billing gimmick.

And right now, if I were to call you, I have to pay -- but with this new gimmick, you pay as well. And we would both end up paying for the call with this new billing gimmick.

Oh wait, never mind. That's already been done.

How 'bout a cell phone that does nothing but make phone calls?

I'm thinking an earpiece that is the size of a pin head and a mircophone implanted in a tooth. The keypad will be in a wristwatch.

I don't care about a cell phone with a camera nor do I care about Bluetooth, MP3s, Internet access, ESPN broadcasts or anything else.

Just give me a strong signal and a clear connection. I just want to make a damn phone call.

My guess is that it will be a Bluetooth screen that you wear like a pair of sunglasses that can hook you up to the internet.

That really seems impractical. I mean, the person would need to be sitting down or something. They certainly couldn't drive, or ride a bike, or walk about. They could hit a tree while checking their email, or get hit by a car while looking at porn. But it sounds neat.

My prediction is that cell phones will actually evolve into tiny devices that are planted into one's brain. One second a guy is sitting quietly on the subway, the next he's laughing and saying things like, "Naw, naw man, she didn't.." Then all the other passengers will look at each other and smile. "Got a call on his brain phone", they'll say.

I'd like to see one that sends a 30-volt shock whenever the stop light turns green.

you would see people looking like they are nuts because of their bizarre hand movements while acting like they are in a trance because they are paying no attention to the world around them

Actually, they'll plug into your ears and download the Internet directly into your brain. (Though, that didn't work out so well on Dr. Who last night.)

In the 1967 movie, "The President's Analyst" the major powers of the world are chasing James Coburn's character because he is the President's analyst and is priviy to the secrets that reside in the POTUS!

A dark force keeps the Russkies, Chincoms, French, German, Japanese and other spooks at bay.

Finally, the doctor is brought before this organization and its

GULP! the Telephone Company!

The Telephone Company wants to bribe the President with the secrets that Coburn has. Why? They want the President to pass a law that all people's names will be changed to their telephone number. Bell Labs has developed a pea sized telephone device which would be implanted in everyones brain. Their names are now numbers and instantaneous telephone communications would be possible with these wireless devices which would tie the world together.

There was a Clarke SciFi story where the world telephone system grows to the point where the number of computer circuits are larger than the neurons in a human brain. When this happens....A new entity is born.

IBM - ONE = HAL!!!
