The document discusses emerging technologies and their future applications. It describes how the Xbox Kinect uses body movement detection and face recognition. A similar "Home Kinect" is proposed to recognize users upon entering home, act as a home security system, and allow access to devices throughout the home and car. Schools may provide laptops for students by 2025 that can be used for virtual classrooms and accessing digital textbooks and materials anywhere. Cars by 2016 are predicted to read texts aloud and allow voice control of music and GPS, with safety features like speed control and locking for reckless driving. The technologies aim to make the world more accessible by putting information and services at users' fingertips.
