15 and 50 years from now?

Between 15 and 50 years from now i feel there will be a ton of changes in the mediascape. I can imagine games like the ones in ExitenZ would be a real life past time. 3D holograms will be everywhere and that will be the primary mode of communication. In fact, maybe there are not even uses for people anymore, but everyone will have their own avatar they can control out in the real world from their very own home. Of course, this would mean everyone would be morbidly obese from having no exercise or need to look attractive, because nobody would ever see them. I believe we will have some sort of digital pair of eyes, that can record memory and dreams and there will be no use for cameras. You will be able to control media with your very own body, like those commercials for dells or whatever where they simply trace out a computer screen and all their information is there. Maybe there will be time travel, or flying cars as well. Cars will be able to fly and float, making it possible to travel anywhere anytime. Food will be in pill and capsule form but still contain flavor, sort of like the three course flavored gum in willy wonka and the chocolate factory, that turns violet into a blueberry. Houses will be able to be programmed to clean up after themselves, and wallpaper will be digital!

what will the media scape look like 5 years from now?

five years from now the media scape will probably be very similar to where it is now, however it will become more social network related, as it is today where everything made has an app for facebook etc. I think there will be 3D advertisements as well as no longer any need for CD players in cars, and certainly radio will go out of business. There will be iphones in cars, which will cause more accidents, and people will have more access to media from wherever they are. Whether or not near an electronical device.
