The Future: The World of Tomorrow!

I was wondering how you people envision the future of computing. Not specifically Android computing, but it would be nice to have some connection with it, but don't let that squash your visions of an Apple controlled music industry or perhaps the idyllic Bada phone OS. Basically anything goes if you think others would enjoy reading it.

However, this is not some topic for 100 years from now where we all live in the Matrix or overrun by Skynet droids. This is more about the short term future. I think the best way to describe it is by showing how I envision this future by telling you how 1 existing product might change.

Google Maps:
The 3d art will improve so much that independent developers will create a simcity clone using the API's. The level of detail will bring with it a new privacy option where homeowners can opt-out of having a high-level of detail of their house revealed. For others it will mean a new way to share their gardening skills by sharing their garden's coords in G+ (coupled with their own photoshpere's ofc)
Streetview will take it to the next level and implement video/moving pictures, and day/night mode, but only of specific locations: Theme parks will be the first to join this initiative to showcase the fun people can have there. But other scenes might show big monuments as they look during day and night time. Cities will try to attract tourists by signing tourists attractions to be hosted: Great surfing places, busy streets full of nightlife, nature spots etc.

So pick a service/product/program and describe its future to us. 1service/product/program per post please (unless it is short)
