Where Are We Going?
A Carry Along Notebook.
This notebook comes with a digital pen that allows you to navigate and input "handwritten data,". This is call the "PaceBlade" and it will be launch by Hewlett-Packard Co so, if you would rather a space saver in your home or just something you can take along without the bulkiness, than maybe you will go for this.
What the future holds.
This is the new 3D Samsung 9000 series, it converts 2D video to 3D; it ranges in sizes from 19" to about 65," which is also about "third of an inch thin," but the most important part of it all, is that it comes with a "touch-screen" remote that allows you to watch TV on the remote and play your 3D movies on the screen all at once, what an option. This we all know will come with a price, no matter what; it is to the advantage of those that can afford and those that can't afford will have to stay with the old LCD and HDTV, but we all can agree that this new technology is what people have been waiting for, the "thinnest" television ever.

Possible replacements for the computer mouse
Pictured above is Apple's 'multi-touch'
There are a few predictions of future replacements for the computer mouse;
One is a brain-computer interface, which will use the electrical impulses of neurons in the brain to tell the computer what to do. The main problem with this technology today is that it requires implants in the skull to function, which is the only option for some with medical conditions such as paralysis and Lou Gehrig’s disease but not an attractive idea for all computer users.
Another is eye-tracking which uses a high resolution camera and an infrared light but again, this is a high cost option and currently only practical for those with severe physical disabilities.
Voice recognition is now mainly used in business for specific applications like transcribing spoken words to written documents with only a small core group of physically disabled people using it to completely control all functions of their computer. In the future we may all be speaking to our computers instead of using a keyboard or mouse.
