Thanks.

Hmm... I'd use the plural version. It makes the sense of "time" clearer. |

A long while later, as in the distant future.
In times to come, people will have their cell phones surgically implanted in their skulls so they'll never be without them.
In times to come, all babies will be genetically engineered for their parents' ideal of perfection. |

Hmm... In times to come, all babies will be genetically engineered to meet their parents ideals, AND to come pre-equipped with a cell phone? |

In times to come, all babies will be genetically engineered with Ninja DNA to meet their parents ideals, and come pre-equipped with nanobot Blackberry cell phones and wireless Internet connection for their cyber-implants. |
