Prediction? 10:11 PM

Oh my god, when I used google to find who Vannevar Bush is, I found his career is so brilliant. As we may think was the great work at that time and he predicted many inventions that have really appeared now, such as personal computer, internet, World Wibe Web, and even Wikipedia. I never heard of that there is such a person who affected so many people by now, and he is the inventor of the computer.

Many people concider Vannevar Bush a great man because he predicted many things that really happen today. But I think there is a posibility that is, maybe Vannevar Bush is so great that people what to follow what he said, so they developed the personal computer, internet, World Wibe Web, and Wikipedia. Of course, the fact may not be so, but I think the essay As we may think should have its influence on the development of technologies from 1945 until now. And I'll say Bush is really a genius, Bush's imagination have reached today's technology. In some ways, this fact proved that nothing is imposible if the time is enough.

What might Bush forecast today? There is an interesting think I thought before. That is, in the future, there will be no personal computer. It doesn't mean that people don't need computer anymore, but they gather all data of personal computer all over the world into a big main computer. Everyone has an account at there, people use a tool, maybe a helmet, to connect it, and they use it as the personal computer we use today. So that we won't have to bring our computer or notebook anywhere and we can work on our "personal computer" everywhere, but we just move our data to a server.

Even 50 years later, I think the network will be still the important way to communication. Since the computer has been invented, it changed our life day by day. The computing power switchs all the things into 0 and 1, even pictures and voices. Nowadays, we can share our photos and musics to any other people. We even can talk each other with Skype. The computer and internet really change the style of life rootly. So after 50 years, they will be more and more powerful and won't be stoped.

Who would think that you would be able to use one of Bush's ideas in reality to search for information about him in the future? Optimisitc view - an unstoppable future :)
