Probable Tomorrows
A fascinating look at near-future advances, inventions, products, services, and everyday conveniences that will change how we live and work. Marvin Cetron and Owen Davies explore these changes and the impact they will have on everyday life.

For Example, by the year 2010:

  • Personal computers will offer the power of today's supermachines and artificial intelligence.
  • A telecommunications network will supply the world with services from the contents of the Library of Congress to pornographic videos in Cantonese.
  • The United States -- reversing a decades-old trend -- will link its major cities with high-speed rails.
  • Airplanes will be capable of leaping halfway around the world in just two hours.
  • Consumer goods will be produced at prices so low the poor of tomorrow could live as well as the rich of today.
  • Scientists will have learned to purge the air of pollution, closing up the Antarctic ozone hole and ending the threat of global warming.
  • Heavy industries can move into space, so that Earth can recover from our past environmental follies.
  • Dramatic advances in gene mapping and organ transplants will extend the healthy human life span well beyond the century mark.

Science and technology have dominated life in developed countries since the Industrial Revolution. In the twenty-first century, they will change it almost beyond recognition. Probable Tomorrows tells us how.

    Palm/eReader Information:
    Palm/eReader eBooks can be read on your Palm, Pocket PC, Windows or Mac computer. The Palm/eReader can display styled text (italicized, underlined, etc.) and formatting as well as perform functions not found on other Palm OS eBook readers.
    What are the requirements for Palm/eReader?

    You'll need a Palm OS or PocketPC/Windows CE Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), or a Windows or Macintosh desktop (or laptop) PC.

    Palm OS Hardware:

    • PDAs including: Palm III series, V series, VII series, m100 series, m125 series, m500 series; Handspring Visor series; TRG Pro; Sony CLIE; IBM WorkPad.
    • 134KB of free memory for the Palm Reader application, plus sufficient free memory for each book (varies from 200KB to 2MB, depending upon the length of the book).
    • Palm Personal will not work with the Palm Reader. It doesn't have enough memory to handle all of our eBooks and there are some important technical differences in the Palm Personal's operating system that make it a less suitable platform for the Palm Reader.

    Palm OS Software:

    • Palm OS 3.0 or greater.
    • Synchronization software for downloading the Palm Reader and eBooks to your Palm device (e.g., the Palm Desktop software)

    PocketPC/Windows CE Hardware:

    • PocketPC series handhelds
    • 167-260K of free memory for the Palm Reader application, plus sufficient free memory for each book (varies from 200KB to 2MB, depending upon the length of the book)
    • 256KB free program space

    PocketPC/Windows CE Software:

    • PocketPC or PocketPC 2002
    • Synchronization software for downloading the Palm Reader and eBooks to your PocketPC device (e.g., the ActiveSync 3.1 software).

    Windows:

    • Windows 98 / ME / NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP

    Macintosh:

    • Mac OS 8.6 or later, using CarbonLib 1.5 or later/Mac OS X 10.1 or later
    Is it true I can the Palm/eReader is not limited to one format?

    The Palm Reader can read doc files. A doc file is a type of PDA file that ends in either .pdb or .prc. These text files have been specifically packaged for use on a PDA. Doc format is pretty much a standard for PDA documents, and the latest version of the Palm Reader can view them.

    Can I use the Palm/eReader with the new Pocket PC's?

    Yes, the Palm Reader is compatible with the following PocketPCs:

    • Hewlett-Packard Jornada
      420, 430, 430se, 540, 545, 547, 548, 680, 690, 720, and 820
    • Compaq
      iPAQ H3600 series, iPAQ H3100 series and Aero 1500 series
    • Casio
      Cassiopeia E115, E-125 and EM-500 series.
