Mobile future
I think internet and computer is moving 2 places: micro and macro, read phone and living room.
As I am researching some stuff for fun, I came across a rather large amount of interesting projects (especially at IBBT.be) but also quite some 'just for fun'.
One to mention is certainly Nokia's Beta Mobile Codes.
Type a text, get it converted to a barcode, and expose it. Your mobile can read it.
Now as this is fun, it is obvious a rather large amount of useful things can be done with it.

This technique is used for mobile ticketing. You order tickets online and receive this barcode by sms. The barcode gives you access to the event, so no paper ticket is needed.
Unfortunately, there are still a lot of mobile phones that do not support these type of barcodes.
