How Will the Future in Technology Look like?
According to scientists and futurologists this is how the future in tech will look like in 25 years, at it's current evolution. Once SF not S Fact! Leet's hope we won't wipe ourselves out till than
If you guys have any other ideas how the future will look like or what tech you'd like to see, please share Last edited by sandygrimm; 06-02-12 at 10:18. |

I hope someone finds an alternative or major extension of touch screens. They are neat, but very hard to use without looking. This makes them quite useless for example in cars, where you have to be able to distinguish buttons by their feel and shape, without looking. Of course, many car companies don't seem to realize that. But it's not just cars. On an old iPod without touchscreen, you can change the volume, the song or press play and pause without looking at the device. You can feel where the controls are, roughly. With an iPhone or iPod touch, well, you have dedicated buttons for volume control, but play, pause, forward, backward, all those require you to look at the device. I hope someone finds a way to solve this issue.

That's pretty awesome, but just think of all the fingerprints everywhere! Not to mention the smudges! :/

Perhaps the graphene has the solution for that. They can create devices with relief in certain areas to display the buttons there. With other materials that react to electrical stimuli ( I have seen them in some videos), contracting or dilating, can create better technology, keys or buttons that appear where the software decides to apply substantial increases of energy, f.e. The combianción of both technologies could provide/fit. EDIT: Now, imagine all the walls of your house lined with this material. Our own holodeck! Last edited by tampi; 06-02-12 at 11:55. |
