Makes one think about ideas that are ahead of their time now, but will make sense when Gigabit broadband is widespread. You could apply this to other areas in tech too, e.g. car OSes, which are new and not great (like 2002 phones versus 2012 phones), but in 10 years will be a key selling point in cars - over the air firmware updates, every car has it's own IP address, high-speed mobile broadband as standard, detects if you're too drunk and dials a cab, auto-dials emergency services if you crash (some of these are already in development, there are probably lots more features that are hard to imagine just like with phones and tablets).
