Hi,
computers went into our lifes for a long time.
First computers were for old kids who had the cash, then computers became mainstream and kids actually grown up with them.
But the one thing that never changed was the computer itself. It always consistent off a case, keyboard and mouse. You always have to have a desk to put the thing somewhere and you need to enjoy the head it distributes.
Then we got laptops which are did not change that much. They got thinner and more efficent but its the same nevertheless.
Now the new kind of computing is coming with the iPad as its most prominent contender.
Now i know that most people will dismiss the product because its made by Apple. But i think this kind of computer might be the next big thing in computing for several reasons.
Reasons:
The user is not bound to have a big or small case of computer to be able to do any task.
Everything will be wireless and you don't need to hook up cables and just by printing a document to your printer from your handheld. No cables needed.
Receive any content and use it without worries.
Can be taken everywhere
Easy to use that even a newbie can operate it
cloud computing
I do hope that at one point you don't need to hook up a unit to recharge it and rather have it charged wirelessly.
Even the ipad laggs some of my wishes and hopes. But i think we will see more things in the future and perhaps cheaper.
Now i know that most people (like myself) are bound to a mindset of how we grown up with computers.
That means, a computer has to have a external keyboard or needs to have gazillions of gigabytes. And there are so many reasons more.
But the cellphone phaenomena showed me that its does not matter at all. All the people use their iphone or any other 'smart'phone to type and write messages, documents doing their work on it.
So i predict that computer use will change dramaticaly in the next decade. So dramatic that my computer now will be like stone-age. A tool from the far past.
The one thing one needs, is to brighten the mind and to not think of whos manifacture is better or a true opensource nerd.
I think that the way we handle our daily tasks will change and sometimes i actually wish it will be sooner.
What do you think? Do you think the computer you have next to you will be also (in general) the computer in the future? Or will it be a more portable computer?
PLEASE. Do not ridicule this topic. Just the general perspective if you can.
