Where Are We Going?


Can you imagine owning one of this in the nearest future, isn't it amazing to look at? This is a production of Sony and it might hit the market as late as 2015, we will see than.
This is call the XEL-1, it uses less energy because it does not have backlight compare to LCD and HDTV. This size is about 3 millimeters thick and measures 11 inches diagonally. This is just the smallest one so far, but eventually the bigger ones will be produce. It will be easier to mount on the wall of your homes because it is so "slim." You can even move it around because of it flexibility. This smallest size will run for $2500. It will all come down to how much you like it and the price will not even matter to you. As for now, we will wait and see.


A Carry Along Notebook.

The more computers are develop, the more portable they become. It is all about simplicity and the convience that comes with it for each individual and that is what that drives manufactures to come up with notebook that we can carry along. "The Simple Life," is what we all want. Think about owning one of these, if you don't like to type or maybe your job require a lot of standing, then you will love this gadget. It is all about your personal style and what works for you.
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 what television will look like very soon, just be patient and you will see television moving to a new level. What is going to be the cost of this new advancement is what concerns me. However, it is going to stay no matter the cost.
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.

The Future of Radio Broadcasting


Radio has been a huge part of our lives over the last century and advancements in technology will forever change the way we listen to radio. The future of radio is in Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB. DAB radios use a digital signal to provide excellent sound quality, and a wide range of stations and programs to listen to. There are many advantages to listening to DAB radio compared to analog radio. Tuning to a new station is easier as it is much like changing the channel on a TV and all stations show their names so you know what station you’re listening to. Have you ever heard a new song on the radio, but did not hear the DJ mention the artist or name of a song? Well, some stations actually broadcast the artist and name of the song being played on your radio. DAB radios can also be portable radios that look like MP3 players, but smaller in size and can be transported outside while working in the yard or garage. In the very near future, handheld DAB radios will be able to show image slideshows just like on TV. Listeners will be able to view the artist, album covers, advertising, and other information. Radio technology has given us better sound quality, convenience, and a more enjoyable listening experience.

Tomorrow's Cell Phones

We have become very reliant on cell phones in the last twenty or so years, including using them as our main phones at home instead of landline phones. The future technology of cell phones is incredible. Here is a preview of just a few of tomorrow's cell phones:



"Nokia Flexible Concept Phone" This phone made of memory plastic can be molded to fit around your wrist, yet can be heated to return to its original shape.




"Visual Sound Phone" This phone is designed for deal people that uses a voice-to-text concept which is a huge step considering the current teletypewriters.




"Mobile Script Phone" The phone pictured here has a unique style with a small screen, but has a larger touch screen hidden within the phone’s body.




"Natural Year Phone" The fact that most people change phones every two years is the concept of this phone. It will biodegrade naturally once the two years is up.


The “Morph” phone uses nanotechnology for flexibility and transparency screen to mold the phone into any shape that is convenient for the user. Plus, the phone can even clean itself.



"Sticker Phone" This phone is rechargeable through a solar panel that can stick to a window via a suction located on the back of the phone.



"Leaf Phone" This organic phone joins the creative visual aspect with functionality, plus you can wrap it around any part of the body, for example, your wrist, arm, or neck.




"Cobalto Phone" This concept is definitely taking us into the future with its almost all glass design. This phone’s main feature would include 3D images which could help Google maps become even more useful.



"Window Phone" This phone has the ability to tell the weather conditions at any time. In order to text, you blow on the screen to switch modes and write with your finger as a stylus.

Future of Cell Phones




When cell phones first appeared on the market, it was great just to be able to make call outside of your home without using a pay phone. Today, cell phones enable you to take photos, email and internet access. Tomorrow’s cell phones will include even more features than ever before, such as, an always connected portable game consoles, full-featured TVs, and credit cards. The speed of cell phone networks will move data at several megabits per second. The design of handsets will become sleeker, have longer battery life, and e-payment support. The camera can expect higher resolutions and the same processing capabilities now seen in digital and video cameras. These new features could be here within the next few years.
