Futurist, former Wired editor, and all-around smart guy Kevin Kelly writes that, 10 years from now, the average person will carry two gadgets with you everywhere you go:
The two devices we'll carry (on average) will be 1) a close-to-body handheld thingie, and 2) a larger tablet thingie at arms length. The handled will be our wallet, purse, camera, phone, navigator, watch, swiss army knife combo. The tablet will be a bigger screen and multi sensor input. It may unfold, or unroll, or expand, or be just a plain plank. Different folks will have different sizes.
Kelly notes that he's not counting devices we'll wear, like quantified self-tracking devices built into your clothing or accessories (as he notes, you don't carry a watch). Kelly's post is an interesting read if you like the speculative future, but it strikes me that a lot of Lifehacker readers may commonly already carry their "two things", so I'm curious:
Keep in mind that as time progresses beyond the current decade, Kelly predicts that the number of devices you carry will actually decrease, since devices will be both ubiquitous and capable of recognizing and catering to you (think Chrome OS), so often carrying your own devices will be unnecessary for all but totemic purposes.
