I think someone is working on a thunderbolt -> USB3 + more hub. I personally can't wait until the next gen macbook airs have thunderbolt and hopefully usb3. There would be finally a way to transfer data to/from them in a quick way, their biggest flaw currently. It would also allow me to have a two connection laptop dock too.

Computing may be sufficiently advanced when the biggest thing I am looking forward to is not having to plug in both my display and USB connector when I sit down at my office.

Yeah, same here. I really hope that Wacom goes for the Thunderbolt.
My current rig includes a 12" Cintiq which has a mess of cables, a breakout box, a wall wart, needs a Displayport to DVI adaptor, etc etc.
The mess of cables is exactly like this:

Hate the cables so much.
