"In the past 40 years, technology has drastically changed our daily lives. Back then, the Internet was barely in its infancy. The smallest computer was the size of a refrigerator and was infinitely less powerful than today's palm-sized smartphones. \nNowadays, children in school can learn with peers across the globe in the classroom. Cars don't need to run on fossil fuels. The deaf can hear. Computers are sleek enough to fit inside a manila envelope.\nLooking at how far technology evolved in the past 40 years, we want you to tell us: Where do we go from here? In the next 40 years, what do you think technology will be like? \nThe most inspired response will receive an Asus UX31E-DH52 Ultrabook \u2014 so be sure to submit a thoughtful and creative answer.
