    People will be laughing at the fact tht our smart phones only last a day on a full charge. Roll on the day when our phones will last a couple weeks/months on a single charge.

    I think people will be laughing at the costs of running a house now, seeing as the 'Passive House' will become the standard, with Solar Panels and domestic wind turbines being as common as a satalite dish at present.

    I think the phrase "haha, they used to use their hands"will be at the butt of many jokes with regards technology.

    Because it'll be so warm?
    I was thinking more in terms of programmable skin pigmentation and internal heat-regulating nanites, but that too maybe.

    Probably things that are actually funny, you know like comedians and the like.

    I have never come across anyone going to a gig to watch and laugh at an old piece of technology, but maybe if there are enough teednab-els out there right now we might set up a few Sinclairs, Amstrads and commodores in Vicar St and charge 20 quid a pop. ;)

    I am not allowed discuss …

    It's okay, he didn't mean it, he was clearly joking.

    He implied Ed Byrne and Joe Pasquale are funny!
    Has to be trolling.
