Something better than just slight redesigns of the same thing. Actual foldable displays, color eink readers bigger than a paperback. Useful robots. VR that isnt either overpriced or poorly implemented.

Things that work without needing accounts and internet connections to Skynet would be great too.

I was once hoping to be the next big tech guy. I have ideas, but that world is looking to be more evil and susceptible to things I dont think I want to be part of.

I’ll toss ideas out on forums. Maybe someone better than I can run with it.

There was a time when we saw computers increase their power by the month. Screens go from boxes to flat, the ability to store entire music libraries on ever smaller devices. Cameras that went from film to digital and then improve their resolution every year. Bulky laptops to netbooks, to tablets to thinner tablets that convert to laptops. Bigger TVs with insane resolution. This was literally 1999-2012.

Now it kind of all just what new gimmick can we add to last year’s model and sell it for the same. Right now the only news I see is the Galaxy S10. Just last year’s phone with who cares spec bumps and Google not using food names for android phones in the future.

Interesting - thanks...

A couple of things I’ve occasionally thought would be wonderful would be a large roll-up display that you could stick to your wall like wallpaper. I know the concept’s been around. A friend showed me some oled on paper back in the 90’s. It appears to have not really gone anywhere since.

Likewise, I’m with you on the VR. I got some FPV goggles and a mini-drone, it’s fun to play with, but they’re uncomfortable, and the display resolution is less than ideal.

Being someone who has poor eyesight, 4K that I could wear, or heck, even 1080p would be a wonder.

But I’m not in a position to make anything like that happen. I’m just a guy who does ... stuff. Yeah, that’s it.
