I think Glass is an intermediate step. The biggest issue that exists right now is the fact that we would love to have huge screen but don't want to lug them around; want full keyboards but they don't generally fit in our pockets...

My thought on this is that we'll eventually turn to the next best (but scary) way to interact with computers: implants. I wrote about it in a blog I have just for "brain dumping" of stories I want to eventually write, but perhaps it's relevant here: http://writersdrano.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/the-first-step-...

You need to write a book or something, your A Basic Timeline post (http://writersdrano.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/a-basic-timelin...) gets crazy, like if Ready Player One had 30 sequels. I was glued to it.
That post reads like a partial fleshing-out of Asimov's The Last Question, and it didn't end like Legends of Dune or The Matrix did although playing with similar ideas. Humanity dividing into 4 colonies also reminds me of the EVE Online backstory, in which humans stumble into a new galaxy and split into 4 warring factions.
Thank you! I will definitely do that eventually, but right now there is just too much stuff happening in my everyday life to find the time for writing. I will do it though.
