Exactly the same here, I feel rather sorry for them and the amount they
have invested locally.

- I don't watch sport and get TV via aerial and dish
(Freeview/Freesat) and my Internet is fast enough with fibre to the
local cabinet.

I only use it for text, email and a bit of streaming - it does that fine.


That is true for many of us. But, online experiences are going to be
simple keyboard and monitor terminals and all things will exist in the
cloud.

You will sign up to a virtual 'Desktop' run by companies that promise
you the best experiences.

However, speeds are about to go over the top with the new graphene CPU's
that can be multi-layered cos of low heat manufacturing. Because data
transfer is almost instantaneous and low energy, heat is less of a
problem. Clock speeds will escalate.

Eye masks will be a one piece clear crystal with on-edge tech. I.E.
signals are directed to the edge of the thin lens/mask. They will be
made of a structured crystal that can have faces created at any point
within the block using subsurface laser etching.

With laser, great resolutions are capable allowing for many faces of
different planes within a very small area undetectable by eye. Both
surfaces of the lens can be both a camera and a display simultaneously,
creating 'Mixed Reality'. Being faster than your eye responses, future
tech will learn your auto-responses and will create content ahead of you.

Faster speeds will also bring people into real time sharing where huge
quantities of data are transferring between many hundreds of people.

Anyone that watched Guy Martin do the tractor speed record would have
seen the Williams 3D imaging headsets and virtual 3D model of the
tractor. Well, that seemed privative from what I have seen to be
promising both in software and hardware sectors.

Gamers such as race drivers, who earn many thousands of pounds
on-line, will welcome lag free drives. Immersion detail is becoming big
demand. Besides visuals, and smaller 3D detail, are the external affects
of night and day and weather.

The weather is based on historic data for that area. Once a weather
data set is selected by the server, teams can access previous days data
up to the present time. Race teams have 'live' weather monitors
throughout the race. The weather data is for a huge area around the real
world race track and includes all the data that weather includes. As
such teams can track changes in air movement over miles and days, or, at
track and car levels.

In the future of greater, faster search engines, a person can be picked
out for their talent and skills. It happens already. But, I like the
idea that a airport controller is one that has been seen to stay alert
for 14 hours a day on their PC without a mishap. Or the joy of hearing
there is a 12 year old kid on-board who can fly the pilot-less Jumbo jet
I'm in.

You are familiar with the pattern, direction; instant everything for
as little effort and cost as possible. Toward a spiritual existence.

I look forward to the mixed reality lens. I'll never have any ugly
neighbours.


These works are under way.
