How Will Our Future Be?
The way the future is heading seems to be very clear but as before things may
change. The time to come will never reveal itself until it has actually been.
From this point of view I will try to describe the way I see the future coming

The network is so fast you never experience the bottleneck when transferring
data like in the old days. This is a major advantage for the large number of
people working from their own homes. They use a technology called net-meeting if
they have to discuss some paperwork over the net. It is possible to both look at
