Just think, a pc the size of deck of cards with a VGA connector, dc powerconnector and a whole whack of USB connectors

It's called an "angel" and within 5 years it'll replace your cellphone, your notebook computer, your Credit Cards and every remote control you own. No USB , though- it'll be Bluetooth or similar. no keyboard, either- all speech. As you walk close to an Angel-enabled screen, the screen will be slaved to your Angel so you can look at stuff. Public phones will be replaced by Angel screens and public places will be characterized by people holding long and meaningful conversations with their angels. Society will be transformed- who wants to talk to an irritating, opinionated human when the Angel is our constant lover and agrees with whatever we say. The Tamagotchi addiction effect will be multipled a hundred-fold. We'll all become inwardly focused and Gothic ennui with real life will become the norm.

So lets hope that computers remain great hulking things with vast keyboards, huge motherboards and ridiculous spinning disks.
