1. Technology of the Future
By Jack Murphy 21st September 20011
Lots of people wonder what the technology of the future will be like and how will we
use it? Will there be an Iphone 100, how about an Xbox 1080, all of these are ideas
are possible in the long run but how can we perceive this ideas I hear you saying in
my head. Well I’ll start by explaining a bit about the doomed technology of today and
what’s replacing it and how that technology may evolve.
First piece of doomed technology the traditional telephone has all but died out, who
wants some little plastic voice transmitter squealing at you when you can just talk to
them using the Iphone’s face time and maybe in the future we might have invented a
headset which just updates you constantly with information. But nothing seems as
doomed as the television itself, why do you need a little black box sitting in the corner
barking at you most people have parents for that.
The technology replacing the television is the laptop, to the average person there is
nothing better than a portable television that plays games, videos and music on
demand. However even the laptop is coming under attack from the new and more
advance Ipad in which is everything is controlled by touch even though it’s basically
an Iphone with greater size and futility by this rate we’ll be able to watch television
from the sleeve of your shirt and for no reason at all.
Another medium that is dying out is the newspaper, why spend £1 everyday for 1
newspaper when you can get a million different news application on your Iphone or
Ipad and because of this newspaper such as the News of he world are going bust
whilst others such as The Guardian or The Times are fighting for survival, although
they have also turned to the digital format however this is also predicted to be
overtaken by epaper an invention in which you can read updated news from a digital
piece of paper which is constantly updated.
2. In the future you can expect to see cameras on which you take pictures through your
electronic eyes mobile phones that are implanted into your brain. The reason for
these assumptions are because of the rate of increase we have shown in the past 10
years. Thirty years ago computers took up an entire room and were predicted to
weigh one and a half tonnes by 2000 however you can now buy laptops which weigh
less then 5 pounds.
