    Display tech moves incredibly fast. There will certainly still be some “antique” LCD monitor screens hanging around in 2020, but as far as new stock is concerned, it’s easy to see the entire industry shifting to paper-thin OLED surfaces, many with touch capability.
    “So surfaces will become computational," Liebhold says. "walls, mirrors, windows. I think that's legitimate.”
    PopSci Predicts: “Give that one a high probability,” Liebhold says. Done.

    New models of Smartglasses

    One of the biggest false trends of CES 2010 was 3DTV. The problem: Users don't want to wear those goofy 3D glasses when they're sitting on the couch or laying in bed to watch TV or a movie. However, people don't mind wearing glasses when they are out in public. That's why we're likely to see a new generation of technology that will put computer displays into glasses and give users a visual layer of information about the world around them, offer customized alerts, and interact with their digital devices.
    These glasses, which will integrate with prescription glasses or sunglasses in many cases, will be able to discreetly do things such as provide additional information about real-world locations (similar to Yelp Monocle), do facial recognition on people you meet and search your social network contact list to find them and display their name, grab the name of the song that's currently playing on your iPod, and show caller ID and text messages coming in from your mobile phone.
