The entertainment center as we know it will become obsolete. MOHBs will use the same "cloud" approach to access television programs, movies, and music, which are projected to display screens or speakers. They could also use the same approach as Amazon's Kindle, allowing one to download books and periodicals. And even better, people can also use their MOHBs to contribute to the mass media.
Though cameras and video recorders are already common in mobile phones, the quality of these will continue to improve. With ubiquitous access to the high-speed wireless network, users will be able to stream live video and audio, creating podcasts on the go. This will take individuals beyond YouTube, allowing them to contribute to news and entertainment media in unprecedented ways. Streaming video from the MOHB will also allow us to finally realize the science fiction concept of the video phone - teleconferencing is close, but when streaming video is available on everyone's MOHB, that concept will finally become reality.
