110. By “wearable computing” I mean mobile
computing where both computer-generated
graphics and the real world are seamlessly
overlaid in your view; there is no separate
display that you hold in your hands (think
Terminator vision).The underlying trend as
we’ve gone from desktops through laptops and
notebooks to tablets is one of having computing
available in more places, more of the time.

112. The logical endpoint is computing everywhere,
all the time – that is, wearable computing – and
I have no doubt that 20 years from now that
will be standard, probably through glasses or
contacts, but for all I know through some kind
of more direct neural connection.

114. And I’m pretty confident that platform shift will
happen a lot sooner than 20 years – almost
certainly within 10, but quite likely as little as
3-5, because the key areas – input, processing/
power/size, and output – that need to evolve to
enable wearable computing are shaping up
nicely, although there’s a lot still to be figured
out.
