In a recent speech Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates speculated that some of the most important technological advances of the next decade will come in the ways people interact with computers: speech-recognition technology, tablets that will recognize handwriting and touch-screen surfaces that will integrate a wide variety of information.
"I don't see anything that will stop the rapid advance," Mr. Gates told the Northern Virginia Technology Council
He noted that technological change driven by academia and corporate researchers continued even after the Internet stock bubble burst in 2000.
He also said the coming years will bring rapid changes in media as television increasingly becomes a targeted medium, where viewers can select niche content for news, sports and entertainment.

Sometimes I start to feel that all this change is a bit frightening considering the speed at which all this change is occurring. Soon there won't even be a need for the good ole' pen and paper.
