Predict the technology in 2025

In 13 years, I doubt technology would be that far ahead of today in all honesty.

More than likely just faster, more efficient gadgets than today. Unless there is a technological break through in the next decade. Just look at the past decade, CRT > OLED, brick phones > smart phones. AMD Athlon single core 1Ghz > Quad core i7's.

So gutted there won't be hover boards in 2015 :(

You'll be directly connected to a Super-Computer at all times via Satellite Comms. that will be feeding you nothing but Govt. Propaganda about how it's 'Keeping you safe', if you accidentally make the wrong gesture or thought (Keyboards are long gone..) the Tactical Reaction Online 'Live' League or as they are known.. the T.R.O.L.L squad comes and confiscates everything you own* and sends you to 'New Guantanamo' (Known as Greenland in 2012) for re-education where you'll be forced to work the rest of your life making all the products we used to rely on China for before it was turned to black glass when it asked the West for all the money we owed them.

In 2025 it is illegal to 'Own' anything, you are License paying 'Keepers' of things, you merely pay a fee every Month to use things. The Govt. owns everything you only borrow it, it's for your safety so you don't accidentally buy something they don't want you to have.

Still, at least in 2025 we're all safe eh?

Any reason you think thats at all likely in the next 13 years?
EU is backing electric battery not hydrogen.
Battery is far ahead in the roll out compared to hydrogen.

We have no infastructure to either produce or transport said hydrogen needed.

Anything is likely, If it were to happen then it would be free/pennies to run!

Hold on i need to charge my electric car i went for a 8 mile drive ;)
 
Mechanical Hard Drives will no longer be manufactured, everything will be solid state.

Windows market share will have tumbled into insignificance...
 
Stuff will become fanless.

People above mention how a laptop will be way overspecced for peoples requirements. Nah I don't think so, I think they'll concentrate on effeciency. Getting todays top sepc PC to run with just heatsinks in a laptop case within 12 years and the advances in efficiency allowing even better specced machines for the avid gamers who are running around in photo-realistic worlds with life-like physics using relativity and all sorts.
 
1. Driverless Cars - We'll all be in them.
2. Google has monopotilised the market,
3. We all have 128-bit home computers.
4. Quantum computing is now a possibility.
5. Battlefield 3 looks old.

So how will gaming work, is it all done via streaming like quake live?

it wont happen, not a chance. we don't have the infrastructure to produce and transport that quantity of hydrogen and to build that infrastructure would take more than 13 years.

However fast charging exists today. EV cars that do 300miles rated and 260miles actual, exist today.
Prototype batteries that store 5 times lithium iron exist to day and should be in mass production in next 5-8 years, if the tests continue to go well.

There is just no backing for hydrogen, hydrogen makes no sense when you look at it.

All right, perhaps not 2025, but Hydrogen is still a good place to be...surely?

Not really. It's far to costly to produce, extremely hard to store and transport and makes no sense, if batteries are cracked, which several prototypes in the lab have achieved. Now just hope some of those prototypes make it to mass market.

By the time hydrogen was feasible for cars, electric will be the default fuel. The national grid is allready being upgraded at a sum of ~3bn a year, chargers are being rolled out etc.
EU have their road map and hydrogen isn't the fuel of choice it's electric.

It will work in small steps i think. With undiscovered tech to be learned.

For example, we could have high tech energy converters for movement (phone), plus solar, plus wireless - thus making the most of the environment.

I didn't say wireless transfer energy wasn't possible, I said by it's nature it will always be less efficient and produce more heat (i.e waste more energy) than the wired version.

Disadvantages

* Lower efficiency, waste heat - The main disadvantages of inductive charging are its lower efficiency and increased resistive heating in comparison to direct contact. Implementations using lower frequencies or older drive technologies charge more slowly and generate heat within most portable electronics.

*More costly - Inductive charging also requires drive electronics and coils in both device and charger, increasing the complexity and cost of manufacturing.[1][2]

*Slower charging - due to the lower efficiency, devices can take longer to charge when supplied power is equal.

*Inconvenience - When a mobile device is connected to a cable, it can be freely moved around and operated while charging. In some implementations of inductive charging (such as the Qi standard), the mobile device must be left on a pad, and thus can't be moved around or easily operated while charging.

With the green movement in full swing do you really think they'll put up with more energy being used just so you don't have to look at a wire coming from your flatscreen TV (as suggested in that video)?

Sure wireless energy will have some uses where wiring just isn't possible but unless they can make it as efficient as the wired version I can't see the environmentalists standing for something which for 99% of cases we don't actually need. Using wireless because you want the area behind your TV to look 'cleaner' won't be a good enough reason.
 
A DOS emulator that is slow enough to run Crysis at maximum resolution :D

Wireless energy transfer should make batteries obsolete.

25 years ago I had a ZX Spectrum with 48 KB of RAM.
 
Things we can't even imagine right now, i.e who'd have thought Tablets would have been such a hit 10 years ago etc
