The Future... PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON!

Ok, so here we are. Web 2.0. What is that you say? To put it in a nutshell (from what I gather in a round about kind of insanity), is that the beginning of the internet, Web 1.0, connected real people to the World Wide Web. I write, you read. EVOLUTION TO TODAY! Web 2.0 connects real people who use the World Wide Web HOWEVER, smarty pants, the reader can write as well! HOO HOO!. The future, the "semantic web", will connect virtual representatives of us, or software agents who use the World Wide Web to share, incorporate and locate info without our slaving at the keyboard ready to throw the monitor at the wall after going through 32 pages of google search. So the question here is this...

What would you want your little software agent to do for you in the future?

Me? I want to be able to say "Montana" and my software agent schedules a flight, driving routes, places to eat, sleep, visit, locates wi-fi points along my route, points of interest, etc. I want it to know me and have every possible situation covered by the time I come back to it. When I do come back, there is a ticket printed out, a car rental reserved and printed, a map, the best nook/crannies to eat on that route printed, inns booked, points of interest brochures printed, and a copy of it all saved on my laptop with a mp3 mix perfect for the trip. AMEN!
