I only dream about a world where information is available over a 100% digital 100% wireless global network. I'm sure that the thrust of our techonlogy is in that direction, but I am skeptical that it will come to fruition in my lifetime.
If it were possible to pop open my Vaio on any subway or in any park (at least in America if not the world) and load some global winamp playlist served to me from one of many streaming media vendors, I would be one happy camper.
Our technology is nowhere near providing the kind of streaming capability (either land line or wireless) that would be required to satisfy me at a price I could reasonably afford. Yet.

When that day comes, there will be rejoicing.
