I found all of the different opinions on the change in technnology to be very interesting.  Most predictions on the “worldwide network interoperability being perfected” were the same thing.  Many of the different views and opinions were agreeable and i can easily see happening in the future, though there were a few people that saw this very differently.  Im really interested to see how technology will end up working out by the year 2020.  Personally, I see technology taking over the way everything operates and its whats going to make the world operate.  Everything should become much easier and faster to do, espically with communication. As far as language change and lingua franca, I see it being english as well as a few other observers.  Some, however, see it being chinese by the year of 2020.  Only time can tell how different and advanced technology in this world is going to be.
