[but most of my imaginations about what might 'really' happen
   are kind of boring and nerdy.* Like, "Someday music will be on a
   chip" (I pictured a game cartridge the side of your pinky-nail]
   - and that was in the mid 80s when I was a teenager.* Well,
   apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea 'cause SD and
   micro-SD are here.
   Or smartphones.* In 6th grade, I remember talking about the
   idea.* Not as phones, but just we'd be connected to every
   library in the world, be able to talk to each other on things
   that fit in our pocket, write on it, get music, watch TV and
   have access to everything that ever was made by humans on there,
   whole societies would form on it... I'm still waiting for
   devices that let people shake hands via computer... and for
   smells to be transferred over... there's a few things that
   aren't true yet... foldable screens like newspapers that are
   just as cheap... etc yeah.. anyway..* Internet and smartphones..
   .and, I didn't even have to do a thing except... be here. :P ]
   My predictions are exciting to me, but they're usually just
   doable things, stuff that I'd make myself if I had access to the
   materials and technology to experiment with]

   Like here's a simple idea: something akin to a microphone or fan
   that you blow into but it measures wind velocity, direction,
   etc. On the other end, a person has a device like a fan that
   blows out the air at the same temperature, velocity, direction,
   etc. I don't know what it would be used for, but I don't see any
   reason why it couldn't happen.* I have simple ideas.
   Transmitting textures is another one.* We have pixels on a
   screen.* But I think I should be able to put my hand in a
   cotton-like cloth of a sort with pressure sensitivity weaved in
   that has very fine resolution and can transmit subtle 3D
   textures.* Of course it would be used for naughty things -
   that's the 'net -* but I'm not thinking of that stuff - just
   transmitting textures.* Like put it on your head and the
   receiver on the other end, could feel hair.* Or a grandmother
   that lives far away could touch their grandbaby's face.* Stuff
   like that. Or place it on an object like woodgrain on pirate
   ship and on the other end, you could feel what the wood grain
   feels like. It's just I don't see any reason why it shouldn't
   exist.* We can do it in real life; our fingers and hands feel
   textures; like I can feel the texture of the keyboard as I type
   - we have the bandwidth but maybe the technology isn't ready yet
   - maybe it is, I dunno.
