If it's AI and robots you wanted from this series then this one is for you. Artificial Intelligence exists today, when this and other technologies merge the result will be more like Science Fiction than any PC. The technology will be fantastic, the possibilities endless. Get it wrong, the consequences dire.

The more conservative thinkers here don't seem to be allowed to give their view on future. Instead, everything written on this site should be progressive and in service of science. Or should I write 'Science'?
The guy who wrote the article would change a society's political system to a mixture of Socialism and Capitalism just to make sure people would be able to buy their beloved software and technology... I'm afraid such a system - or one similar to it - is likely going to come in future.
Throughout the world, terrorist nations are using technology in order to make sure they have even more power. Instead, technology should be used to help nations towards a real good system, and not to another oppressive socialist state.
By the way, a mixture of Socialism and Capitalism sounds pretty much like Nazism to me, yet another variant of Socialism. When you start combining this system with a "religion" of software/technology/etc (think of the Linux cult) and making everything electronic, we will be dealing with a new kind of a brutal regime.
Unfortunately, I believe this regime will not be regarded as a brutal regime, but rather as a peacefull, harmonious way of living. The love for technology will and is already becoming a (pseudo-)religion and it will be used by the comming rulers of the regime I talked about. Any person who will be opposed to accept this "religion" or to allow technology being incorporated in his or her body, will be slain or won't be able to buy or sell things.
Quoting OSnews rules number 11:
Political diatribes, criticism of US or any other country's foreign policy, attacks on an author, editor, or commenter's country (or company) of origin, ethnic slurs, and most other comments related to politics and religion are not allowed. (For the purposes of this rule, we'll assume that Mac and Linux are not real religions).
If you don't want people to criticize politics in comments or on the forums, you shouldn't display articles or links to articles containing opinions on politics on this website!
Just like the author of the article "The Future of Computing Part 6: Replacements", I have written down and expressed some of my view on politics and such in future. That's all.
