Predicting the future

Abstract

As a practical matter, it is impossible to consistently predict the future with any meaningful accuracy, even based on the rather broad generalizations highlighted in this article. Nevertheless, certainly some of these prognostications, and perhaps even most of them, will hit the target. One thing is for sure - in the world of displays, betting against the overall capabilities and demands of the human visual system is likely to be a bad bet. Whatever display is used today will be eclipsed in terms of performance by the display used tomorrow.
