The computer of the future

Posted on 03/01/2015 8:28:02 PM PST by leopardseal

It might actually be that something like this would be possible with today's technology or it may be more like five or ten years out, but this is the computer I'd like to have. The thing would look like two Iphones held together face to face with magnets or snaps of some sort and fit in a shirt pocket. You'd take it out of your pocket, take the two halves of the thing apart, and set the one half on any flat surface to be the mouse. The other half would sit on the same surface and somehow generate a holographic screen and keyboardwhich could be used like any desktop computer.

In other words, a fully functional desktop computer which you could carry in a shirt pocket with nothing else needed to run.

Thoughts anybody??

I’d be happy just to have XP again.

I never got rid of it. Put in top notch AV software, a quality firewall, MalWareBytes and use CCleaner. Plus I take images of the XP boot drive on a weekly basis.

There is a new electrode breakthrough that promises a order of magnitude reduction in the weight energy density ratio. If it prove out electric cars could be practical.

Where will you go to get rebooted after a BSOD in your brain?

Scary thought, isn't it?

It's the ultimate in mind control, as far as I'm concerned.
