In this article Bush focuses on many things, one of the main ones being in my opinion, the future of war. Not only that it will happen but all the new technology being put into modern weaponry.
He also mentions the evolution of the telephone, which we see already in the present time as being personalized computers that have the convenience of fitting in a pocket. He also mentions the impressive ways cameras have improved throughout the years. I mean look at how much they have changed just within our lifetime, you can tell when a movie has been made in the 1980s versus today pretty easily, just by the grain of the film as well as special effects and graphics. These were the most interesting topics Bush touched upon in my opinion.
My predictions of the future include telephones becoming even more personalized, to the extent that they actually become attached to the human body, it may start as being worn on the wrist, but I think it may go further than that. I have this vision of the future thanks to a book I read called Feed by MT Anderson.

In this book, characters have communication systems a lot like how are phones work implanted in their minds, so they can talk to each other just by thinking it and that goes for companies who send out advertisements into people's minds as they sleep. I don't see our future as being too far away from that. Cameras still continue to improve, including the ones on our phones, I feel like that's one of the main things phone companies compete over nowadays, who has the better camera. As for actual cameras, some photos I see are more crisp and clear than in real life. This will only improve as time passes, 3 dimensional imagery and holograms await us in the future, they will become very common in my opinion. As for the war machines... that's something I don't even want to begin to imagine and hope I never have to experience.
