The space between work and family is converging as telecommuting and home-based business becomes more popular. I would have to answer this question from the perspective of a workaholic. First, I see the convergence of many different types of bank accounts into one account that will fulfill all your financial needs. You go to a store, pick-up what you need, and walk through a scanner that electronically scans your DNA, instantly identifying who you are and the funds subsequently being transferred from your bank to the store's bank. The days of going under the knife are limited.
Micro robots are also on the horizon.
Live long and prosper. Any merger that brings forms of media, telecommunications and software together has the power to enter our lives. This type of merger is like creating a golden pipeline to any household that has a computer, television or radio. Look at it this way. All three players have valuable items to bring to the table.
