I’m not sure that tagging ‘cool’ is helpful…it implies something that’s not enduring but faddish and shallow.

Those working in developing emerging markets of tech often talk about ‘The Next Billion’ – something that’s perhaps a more succinct and flexible theme to encapsulate the themes you’re hoping to explore.

I think *everyone* will become a future user of cool technologies. Even if they don’t know they’re using them.

Take ATM machines, mobile phones and Sat Navs. 20 years ago they were the stuff of science fiction.

Doesn’t matter how ‘Cool’ a technology is, for it to take off and become mainstream it has to be simple enough that your granny could use it.

Future users are just people who find and use technology based solutions to everyday tasks. It’s a mental shift. ‘I want to find out more info on…’. Some will go to the library, but some will jump to Google and get the results there and then.
