We are in the 21st Century now. We don't have flying cars, we don't have houses that are completely controlled by voice recognition and make our toast, coffee and fetch the paper for us, we don't have holograms, we don't have a colony on the moon or mars. So what century are we in again?
Back in the 20th century all these things were predicted to happen before the Millenium. Here it is after the fact and those things are still not true. While some of them may not be possible now, others may be. One thing that surely has advanced quickly is computers. It has taken off like no other... The problem is not everyone can get one or afford one at this time. But that is changing... Now they are becoming the everyday tool of society.
We need some kick ass technology changes now with computers, something that will make it look like we really are in the 21st century.
Here is my list:
1.) Holographic projection - I no longer want a monitor, I want my computer or a device connected to my computer to display a holographic image that you cannot see through. However, I do want the ability to change its level of translucency as well as its size. Wouldn't it be cool to have it fill the whole size of your wall, imagine gaming then. With this holographic nature things can now be displayed in either 2D, or true 3D. The beginning of interactive 3D holographic things
Can you imagine the video card that will be needed to do that though? But we need to do it, it is time we start getting into holographics with computers.
2.) Voice recognition - Even if it is simple terms such as Computer On and Volume Up or Volume Down or Next Page or Back or Go To Website xxx.xxxx.xxx or Dial Phone Number etc... Voice recognition should be common place now with computers. It should be so good that it will know what you are saying without having to be trained. It should be so good that it will understand you even if you are talking real fast.
3.) Video Communication - Audio communication is old 20th Century stuff. It is time we start seeing the people we talk to. Video Phones should be the standard with smooth real time video communication. Our computers should be able to use the holographic display to also act as a video camera when calling someone so it can both display them and show them us all from our computer.
Those are just a few, i got others but I will leave some room... What advancements in computers should we have now that we are in the 21th Century....
