I-What?

Whats all the hype about the I-Phone anyway. Where talking about an age old touch screen technology which somebody finally decided to put in a cell phone. Well that's great.....BIG DEAL!
OK so you get this phone then you have to use AT&T because no other carrier is supported unless of course you get it unlocked and then have to go through allot of other technically challenging steps just to use the thing as a phone. I've seen a few of these around and it's fun to watch people struggle to try to use them. They fumble with the phone trying to hold it with one hand and work it with the other, then they touch the wrong part of the screen and they have to start over again from the beginning. I know I'm ranting here, but the I-pod and the I-phone just seem to me to be over expensive solutions for products that can do the same things better. I know, I know most people just want the brand name and in today's society that what most people will pay out the nose for. We need a change in technology, we've plateaued. As we move forward over the next few years what will be the next Tech Revolution? I personally think it will be a change in Personal Computing. Holographic Screens, or Virtual Computing. The Internet in True 3D. We've had the capability for these for years, we've been waiting for the general public to be educated enough for us to implement them. Truth be told that the technology is only as good as the users. You can produce the most tech advanced app or system on the planet and it means nothing if people don't want to use it.
Think about the electronics you have now, do you NEED it, do you thrive on it. What tech will be the next big need for our generation? Well I certainly hope that we don't become the I-Society that only cares for name brand and is afraid to step out of the proverbial box and try something new.
