>Maybe CPU power is about 15-20 GHz then... ???

Probably closer to 10-12Ghz. 5years is not that long and we haven't hit 5 yet. The rate is slowing.

>Maybe HD have more capacity than 1TB then... ???

Dunno about single HDs. RAIDs definately.

>Maybe most Hollywood movie are 90% CG then... ???

Doubt it, screen actors guild and unions would throw a fit.

>Maybe all movies in cinemas are direct streamed over net then... ???

Doubt it, too many problems with connections dying. Maybe a dedicated backbone network.

>Maybe we have some sort of 3D TV's then... ???

Can have it now, problem is multiple viewers.

>Maybe the count of speakers for surround sound getting more then...
>(<8.1) ???

Not enough improvement to justify the cost. The only real revolution I can see is hypersonic systems using phase intersecting ultrasound.

>Maybe the count is getting lower, because of better psy decode
>methods then...(>5.1) ???

Possibly, but doubt it. That kinda thing doesn't work well on anything except headphones because the environment messes up the phase cues.

>Maybe Mobile Phones and PDA's are the same then... ???

Probably.

>Maybe TV's and PC's are the same then... ???

Unlikely, people don't wanna have to deal with a PC to watch TV.

>Maybe standalones and PC's are the same then... ???

Standalones?

>Maybe we have multiple soundtracks for each movie on one disc
>then... ??? (rock, pop, dance, classic, rap... etc.)

Doubt it, to expensive to produce.

>Maybe we have net-connection to download 1GB in 1min. then... ???

Yes, but you can only upload at ISDN speeds still, and all ports are firewalled and everyone is behind a nat and it scans your processes for P2P apps every day.

>Maybe M$ begins to build a new secret KI-based OS codename "MATRIX"
>then... ???

KI-based? No idea what that is.

>Maybe DukeNukem4Ever is released then... ???

Maybe hell will have a decent ski season and daikatana 2 will be the top seller.

>Maybe Ive won in the lottery till then... ???

I hope I win it tonight, $126 million. :P
