By 2030 we will have floating terminal screens, and it will be awesome.  ____________________     |

Paulguy's Post configuration Yeah I've heard of these. Pretty exciting stuff. Seems desktop computing has mostly stagnated, so they're moving on to bringing mobile computing up to speed. Just a couple years ago, smart phones weren't terribly useful outside of texting and text editing and scheduling and corny games. Before the iphone, you could barely browse the web. If Apple can be credited for something, it'd be putting some fuel towards the smartphone revolution. Hell, 8Mm browsing and posting from a smart phone.
The down side of all this is it's hard to keep ahead with being able to run the latest apps, because your phone is obsolete in a year. Kinda where PCs were for several years... pretty much their entire history up until the past year or so. ____________________ |

Paulguy's Post configuration Yeah, desktop computers are still popular and I greatly prefer them for my primary system, but there hasn't been a whole lot of advancements in a while.
I think the next big thing will be CPUs with a ton of shader units or something. That would at least be cool to have fully software programmed graphics engines or whatever else you want to do with those without the need for a separate video card apart from just a basic 2D card. If they don't go that way, I guess they'd just add more regular cores or something.... Still, good we're seeing progress elsewhere, in mobile applications. They might learn some things about lowering power consumption that could be applied to desktop CPUs, or everything might just change over to ARM.  (not likely)____________________ |

| I've never really been a fan of a phone with a bazillion gadgets. Especially touchscreens I don't 'trust'. I have the LG Crystal phone from when it first came out, and it became unresponsive and buggy after 2 months. I just want a simple phone to use as an actual phone. I'll use a PDA for everything else (organizer, calendar, etc.). ____________________ Leroy and Dunja are going down under! =) |
