Listen up . . . .

1. A universal device. The 7 inch tablet is a step in that direction. No more schlepping multiple items around the planet. A supercomputer that will do it all.

2. A universal identifier. It may well be your Twitter handle. (It will probably not be your phone number.) So get that handle sorted out if it’s backwards or bizarre.

3. A universal privacy protocol. Easy to set up, controlling how you choose your data and identity and location and everything else to be viewed and by whom, for ever.

Not all tomorrow. Not all at the same time. But they’re coming . . . .
