What's next on the Internet? Ask your kids

Can kids predict the future of the Internet? Latitude, an international research and consultancy firm, says they can.

Over the last year, the company posed the question "What would you like your computer or the Internet to do that it can't do right now?" to 200 children under the age of 12 from Kentucky to Mumbai. The kids submitted their responses in drawing form, making this one of the cutest studies ever. Latitude suggests that the answers may tell us something about where the next generation (the company called them "digital natives") will be taking computers and technology. Several of the drawings include kids interacting with computers through touch screens, voice activation, and even mind reading. A computer that helped with fashion choices came up in a couple of drawings, so did teleportation. There was also a lot of interest in robots. In a summary of the findings, the company noted that one kid anticipated recent updates to Google image search.
