The way we listen to music will continue to change as well. We're going to rely more and more on HD and satellite radio and it'll probably be only a few years before internet radio receivers will be a common sight in our homes and cars. Of course, CD sales will continue to dwindle as more of us rely on MP3s and podcasts to get music. ITunes is still king of the downloads, but I suspect that will change as the technology improves and more companies offer better products.

Of course, portability will continue to be the key to getting better products out there. The cellphones nowadays are so advance, you don't even need a computer to surf the net anymore. I suspect the time is near when everybody will do almost everything from their cell. Wanna watch TV? Plug your phone into your flat-screen. Music? Plug your phone into a jack on your home or car stereo. We could be entering an age where even a simple laptop is considered cumbersome and obsolete.

As we are near the end of 2009, thus the end of the first decade of the 21st century, it is worth noting how much technology has changed in the last ten years.

In 1999 most of us didnt have a cell phone and if we did it was a bulky contraption, not 1980s level bad, but still a far cry from the sleek models that would appear.

Star Trek boasted in the 1960s of communication devices that would be portable and could be held in the palm of your hand...science fiction indeed. It shows how techonology has accelerated in the past number of years.

That is but one example, but as technology becomes more and more creative, what do you think technology and science will bring about in the coming decade that was previously considered science fiction?

In the Internet age we have seen the internet grow from its early days of very few websites, with limited information with the crazy ambition that one day you could watch TV online....that's just crazy talk...and now you have channels upon channels online that you can watch, with social interaction and information dissemination being the two great 21st century additions to the internet....so where do we go from here?

What's next for both society and the internet in the years to come?
