Personally, I just can't wait til we have JARVIS type systems for personal use. I know that's farther than 5 years in the future but wouldn't it be amazing to have interactive holograms in your own home? I mean, c'mon - when Tony Stark stuck his hand in the arm piece, twirled it around, crumpled up plans and threw them in the little holographic trash can, was I the only one that got those sparkly anime eyes and fell in love a little? And the speech recognition part is cool but carrying on a real-time coversation with a computer that sounds human is probably a little farther than 5 years, as well. That takes tons of AI and coding, etc. There are speech recognition programs available and Text-to-Speech programs like Expressivo but I'd like to see them advance even farther.
As far as the next 5 years goes, I guess the mobile device will be the biggest player in the advancement of the Internet. With cell phones, laptops and devices like the iPod Touch all with Internet capabilities and with people constantly wanting to be connected, look something up, get in touch with someone, etc. that's where things will continue to expand. This article talks about mobile Internet devices that will be available as soon as next year. They may even be able to play WoW.
Great.
