The most important difference we could make in the technology world on a consumer level is to connect EVERYTHING. My music library and my google maps should wirelessly sink with both my phone and my cars navigation system. I should have everything I digitally own on a single drive, maybe hosted on the internet, where everything in my house and everything I own can access it. TV, Music, Photos, calender, Movies., contacts and address book, these should all be universally connected and brought together, into one identity. This is generally refered to as cloud computing. What really needs to happen though, is faster cable based internet so that the USA can reach Asia level speeds in every home, and then some. On top of that a wireless standard needs to be supported that's fast, maybe not cheap but fast. A compilation of both factors, and a universalation of file standards would revolutionize the (like the internet did) the usefullness of our computers and our technology.
