I'm sure that is guise you've wrapped it in, but this firm is so focused on technology and almost always misses the human element with respect to your output. Invent, imagine, create: do so, don't forget that it's not about technology, it's about people. Fiction? I’m sure that is guise you’ve wrapped it in, but this firm is so focused on technology and almost always misses the human element with respect to your output.

Invent, imagine, create: do so, don’t forget that it’s not about technology, it’s about people.

Have fun in the trees. I think our efforts will be better served inventing, imagining and creating. Interesting comments - I guessed you missed the point about the post being fiction.

How long would it take to get a tree outfitted with broadband, wifi and an XBOX360? I'm not much of a gamer, but I could kick any monkey's ass at Halo 3. That’s a really good idea, actually.

Techno-love like this is what will be our downfall. Go spend some time in the trees to see what's it's really all about. This is NOT the future. Please, stop playing video games and watching the films that fill your head with this meaningless idiocy. Most of the world has never made a phone call.

Go spend some time in the trees to see what’s it’s really all about.

This is NOT the future.

I got carried away rambling about the future computer hardware though..... :) I see the rich having a tiny chip implant that contains something like a private key. Devices and other such luxuries (cars?) are programmed with your public key so that when you walk near them, they automatically activate. Let's forget about the obvious security implications here and concentrate on the fun details! Your home computer will be a server integrated into the house. It'll be CPU/DISK/MEMORY pluggable, and could contain multiple CPUs and Gbs of memory. The operating system can isolate individual CPUs per person, or use multiple CPUs per application automatically. Disks are removable, though by then disks won't be disks, they'll be some form of crystal/material storing data at the atomic level. Users won't care how or where files are stored; unlike today. You'll access your computer via wireless dumb terminals located throughout the house. A dumb terminal is a large screen, fixed to the wall or on a desk and it functions as a terminal, a media centre (DVD or whatever's hot at the time, which will presumably be much faster by then) and a TV. You'll either use wireless keyboard/mouse combination or something more akin to virtual input devices (detects where you move your hand on the desk and detects when you push a finger down on the desk. It may even project the image of a keypad on the desk). Joysticks will be replaced by Nintendo Wii type controllers but steering wheels will still be available. You are automatically logged on when you start using a terminal through your public/private key. All family members can use a different terminal at the same time. The server can support multiple concurrent users. You'll carry a wafer thin, tiny PDA, which contains Gbs of data, with the equivalent CPU and memory capability way beyond today's newest PCs. When you walk into the house, your PDA will automatically synch wirelessly using the public/private key. Your watch will be paper thin and will automatically wirelessly authenticate and use the server as a time source when in the house. It can function as a basic PDA, receiving and displaying simple messages. Your watch and PDA will use GPS type systems to isolate your location and automatically download information: weather, shopping, hotels, news, sports etc. All of your files are stored on the server; you don't care where they are. If you insert a media (e.g. DVD) into the terminal, the server automatically rips the songs and stores them for you. You can choose them to be public (all family members) or private. At the same time, they are automatically uploaded to your PDA if present and requested. Any other family members in the house will be asked if they wish to have the new songs uploaded to their PDAs. Everything will be wireless! Some random, odd, wild thoughts for the future! I got carried away rambling about the future computer hardware though….. :)
