Predicting the future may sound like fun, but it is quite a risky business. Many of the predictions made in the middle of the last century about 
what life would be like today have not come true. At the same time, many things that were not predicted have happened! Could anyone have imagined in 1940 that mobile phones would spread like cobwebs all over the world . One thing we can be sure though… the future will be different from what we see today. Air travel will probably be the most usual mode of travel for the common man. We will live in ‘Smart Homes’ with appliances that think and anticipate our needs… and may be evenGoing for holidays to other planets! Electronic paper, home newspapers, wrist phones, holograms movies, pocket sized televisions, wall sized TV screens, interplanetary chats… the possibilities for the future of communications are mind boggling
