Forty years in the future, humanity will be on the brink of mass extinction due to its blatant neglect toward the environment; robots will steal most of our jobs (even mine); I'll be too old to care about technology. But those are just my predictions. Let's hear what people less jaded have to say -- the children, in particular. The Intel Computer Clubhouse Network on Thursday launched the World Mural Project, which hosts an online mural encouraging children around the world to digitally illustrate their predictions of “what computers will empower us to do" in 40 years. Over 500 children in 21 countries and 14 U.S. states participated in the project.
Their contributions are endearing, if not hilarious: Wearable computers; health care improving our brain power; teleportation; and the best one -- flying cars that cure cancer (what?).
How about you, Gadget Lab readers? What do you think computers will empower us to do in 40 years? Comment with your words or photos.
