What is the next big thing?

I believe that the sun glasses computer will be available in the next 5 years and result in a personal, private computing experience. A person will be able to view anything without others knowing what they are viewing. No more over the shoulder looking or snooping.
After this the "hat" will be used for direct computer controls. Even better that the air mouse, this device made of thousands of sensors will allow control of the sun glass computer by thought. There are toys available now that can do this.
The "hat" will be improved to an input / output device to transmit and receive the chosen sensory brain images. The 1980's movie "Brainstorm" shows the results of this type of technology. This will be available in 10 to 20 years. A person can transmit and store whole sensitory images.
After that, the sensors will be implanted. Together with high speed wireless internet, everybody will be linked.
The device was described in my "Dream Six" dream story. A permanent implant that provides all knowledge, entertainment, fantasy, travel, meetings, business, etc.
