Kenexa CEO Rudy Karsan, a fellow of the Society of Actuaries, predicts that technology will become increasingly customized and personal, potentially even leading to the end of TV sets and the rise of individualized entertainment consoles. He says that by 2012, some people will start embedding technology into themselves, such as a miniature phone connected to the ear canal and jawbone. People are already embedding themselves with radio frequency identification chips, Karsan notes.
