"Subspace communications"
Tim Bray recorded what many of us are experiencing, the virtualization of the office. It's to the point that I need a second display just for all the communications stuff. My office setup puts work on 21" CRT and communications on the 15" Powerbook display. The communications display is running iChat AV, Adium (for all those other networks), and Snak (IRC). That display is positioned so that IRC channels are just at the edge of my peripheral vision. When I'm just using the powerbook display, I definitely feel that my communications bandwidth has been reduced.
In an ideal version of the future, there would be a single app, perhaps XMPP based, replacing iChat, Adium, and IRC. It would support point-to-point and group versions of text, voice, video communications, and you'd have appropriate, useful, tools (like bots) for augmenting those communications.
[Side note: when researching the title of this post, I discovered Memory Alpha, a cool Wikipedia for the world of Star Trek.]
