The Three Big Leaps
1. From "Chatting" to "Doing" (Agentic AI)
• Today: You ask an AI to write a travel itinerary. It gives you a text list. You then have to go to Expedia, book the flights, and reserve the hotels yourself.
• Tomorrow: You tell an AI agent, "Book a trip to Tokyo under $2,000." The AI negotiates prices, books the tickets, adds the dates to your calendar, and orders your Uber to the airport—all autonomously.
2. From "Online" to "On-Life" (The Spatial Web)
• Today: We access the internet through rectangular glowing bricks (phones/laptops). We are either "online" or "offline."
• Tomorrow: Computing becomes "ambient." With advanced AR glasses and 6G, digital information overlays the physical world constantly. You look at a foreign menu, and it translates instantly on the paper before your eyes. The concept of "going online" disappears; you are just connected.
3. From "Predicting" to "Creating" (Bio-Convergence)
• Today: We use tech to monitor health (Apple Watch tracking heart rate) or predict weather.
• Tomorrow: Tech begins to edit biology. "Digital Twins" of your body allow doctors to test drugs on a virtual you before prescribing them. Synthetic biology allows us to "program" cells to fight diseases or eat plastic waste.
The Challenge
The biggest difference between today and tomorrow isn't hardware—it's trust.
• Today: We worry about data privacy and screen time.
• Tomorrow: We will worry about "reality authentication" (proving a video is real, not AI-generated) and "agency" (how much control we give autonomous bots).
