- your bodynet will let you make phone calls, check email and pay bills as you walk down the street
- advances in telecommunication will radically alter the role of face-to-face contact in our lives
- global disparities in infrastructure will widen the gap between rich and poor
- surgical mini-robots and online care will change the practice of medicine as we know it.
