Sci-fi fantasy or future technology?

Is it possible to imagine a future where computers are so small we shift from wearing them to implanting them?

We are already implanting technology to repair hearing faults. No doubt eye sight will also be repaired by devices, and it is only a matter of inevitable miniaturisation before we begin to implant other nano computer devices.

As we improve genetic engineering and as technology shrinks, it is likely that we will internalise IT systems.

As we learn how the brain works better and understand the electro chemical reactions that occur, it is feasible that we will develop a brain technology bridge that allows us to surf the web for information with a mere thought or communicate globally using wireless networks.

Imagine thinking an abstract thought such as: “I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow?” – and the data is fed into your brain by a nano bot connected to the weather bureau.

What if you are curious about your bank balance? Presto! The facts are delivered.

Cloud computing is just a step on the path. We have so much more to fear later!
