I don't think video will ever be a popular method of comunicating, 
compared to eg. email. It is far to expensive to produce video in any 
kind of meaningfull quality.

But then again, technology usually blindside us, so video eqiuped 
cellular phones might make it relevant. But then again, my current 
computer can easily handle the video quality that the phones can spew 
out for the next several years.

I cannot easily see a major technology that demands much faster 
processors. But hopefully it will something like a domestic robot. Im 
tired of cleaning the house and garden.
