Tech must disappear. Right now technology seems to be caught in a loop between creating more efficient and powerful systems to cope with the complex social symbiotic development and the challenges of getting that tech into commercial personal computers but more importantly mobile and flexible devices which are ever increasing in their necessity. The increased demand for mobility and economy should not come at a cost of negative power and storage capabilities. if we carry on with this way of thinking we will always be dissatisfied with the capabilities of our mobile and personal devices and always limit their infinite potential to improve our lives in a real way. It seems logical to stop focusing attention on producing inferior systems to fit in mobile devices and rather refocus energies to work on better communication enabling any device to wirelessly connect with larger super computer networks (possibly internet styled metacomputers) to store private information and handle complex computations. imagine a credit card sized tablet that has the power of the world fastest super computer - is able to access at any time all your pictures, videos and work and for that matter anyone else's in the world and run any application (given that proper security and privacy systems are in place of course).We are then able to produce $20 laptops that have all the power and potential the world has to offer, not only for the underprivileged 3rd world but everyone on earth. Suddenly technology and computers completely disapear and all we are limited by are our imaginations and our willingness to help ourselves. A renaissance. // JG

During the last 2 -3 decades, we have come a long way in computing. We have made unimaginable progress and computing has aided in areas from agriculture to astronomy. I beleive, the next generation will also take an unimaginable leap. Already, socio economic developement based on the use of ICT has been recognized as an important objective by the leading development agencies of the world. But we must think the unimaginable such as: The cost of computing will fall down gradually. It will replace virtually all the papers to save trees from cutting down. World's biggest libraries will merger into computers, thereby reducing storage cost. Wireless techonogies may permit safe wireless transmission of electricity over long distances, thereby reducing T&D losses. (especially in Indian Context) Computing will aid in providing education to the underprivileged and those living in remote areas. Artificial Intelligence will reach unprecedented heights and will render millions of humans jobless, especially in the health sector. Computing and Communication will merge to form integrated technologies/devices. One of the biggest challenges of future will be to reducte the socio economic inequalities in the world. I beleive technocrats will substantial aid from computing to overcome this challenge.

in my own crystal ball, i see computers, which are as small and as sleek as my motorola mobile phone. They are foldable, and very handy for they fit in your own pocket. These micro computers are also available in any color that you want, their casings can be customized and personalized, in these ways, you can show your uniqueness and creativity to the whole world. These micro computers would have an external memory or memory card slot. These computers are also voice activated. If with multiple users, you can log in, log off, or switch users just by voice. The computer will recognize your voice and would automatically log you in in your own network. Thus, only you can log in and your privacy will be more secured. Passwords can also be voice activated. You don't also need to type, you can say your speech and the computer will automatically type your ideas thru your words. They would also have built-in cameras and mic with them and their printers are built-in. In that way, you can practically print anywhere!

More and some more luxury fashion brand kissing with computing technology. I predict there will be more jaws-dropping diamond-strudded desktops... or gold plated(but lightweight) notebooks. Custom-made gadgets is possible, buyer can choose and decide the functions/design of the smartphones. Material of computing device will be shock + water + scratch resistant.

My feel on the future? An all in one module(size of a portable slim DVDRW) with a handphone acting as keyboard(Nokia type). With smaller projectors and drives on the way, there comes endless possibilities for ultra portables. For the Nokia thingy, not all can get a grip on IR keyboards.

The next generation will be of intelligent wearables. Wrist watches will be designed to perform what a high end PDA Phone(HTC Advatnatage?) performs today. May be with an (optional) BIG SCREEN accessory. :-) How about 2GB Mp3 storage in a pendant? wear it...connect it wirelessly...n use it. Any takers? If any, make it work on solar power, nobody woudl like to charge a pendant or a ring. Expect couples exchanging bluetooth enabled rings, pendants, or other ornaments. :-) Long back i heard about DNA storage. Will it be the future when it comes to storage? If yes, companies will go for innovative small devices with high memory storage availabilty...hundereds of giga bytes in tiny systems. Computing machines will be smaller in size and bigger will be the accessories list.

The future of computing will continue to make everything smaller but more powerful. Every chip will be available soon on femto scale. We don't need to worry anymore that we got a supercomputer in the palm of our hands. Just everything we need in a one single device. We don't also need to worry how to power these devices because they will be very efficient and will be powered by micro hydrogen fuel cells.

In the next future of computer technology all human will be planted with a micro chip or the "Digital Time Capsule". Convenience in all walks of life, Such as you don't need to carry your personal ID, credit cards or even your passport. All you had to do is by placing your thumb over a thumb scanner and you can do any transection. Such as shopping, buying movie tickets, consulting a doctor, entering your own home without using any keys, starting your car engine and etc.

The future? Here's what I think... Wearable computing: Computers that are a part of us, extrinsically or intrinsically. Tomorrow is about computers that aren't necessarily visible. So, be it jewelery, accessories or implants, computers will be a part of our lives, with a much closer relationship. Wireless power transmission may be a reality, and then we'll have a truly wireless experience. No worries about recharging that laptop, that PDA, that cellphone, that MP3 player ever again! Ecological concerns? Think again: And then again, with rising temperatures all over, energy efficient, low heat dissipation would be the need of the hour. So, we would have devices that run cool, without fans, and be highly energy efficient. With advances in storage technology (solid state disks and stuff), we might see a host of devices that will offer better performance, and at the same time, be environmentally friendly. Taking RoHS to the next level, we may soon see zero percent toxic or hazardous substance usage in the manufacture of electronics components. With plastic processors being in the realms of reality, we may soon use bioplastic to come up with an entirely new version of biofriendly electronics. All the more reason to smile. Nanotech: Nanotech will boom. We'll have spray on intrusion detection systems, nanotech air and water filters, even blood purifiers within our bodies, filtering out oxidants! We'll have nanobots swarming our bodies, fighting off cancers, virii, and pathogens, that help us stay fit. So what will a futuristic computer look like? A watch maybe, a shirt, a pair of baggy jeans? Yes! What about a can of soda, a bag that tells me if it's going to split, a carton that tells me if it's still got stuff worth consuming? Yes again! God is in the details. The future is small. In the fine print, in the details.

As wireless LAN or even wireless WAN technologies encompass practically all our everyday living spaces, 24/7 data usage would drive into overtime and being connected online would soon become a critical important necessity; not just a luxury. VoIP usage would then overtake traditional PSTN and cellular phone calls. IPTV and mobile video on these high-speed wireless networks would materialise and gain wide-spread adoption, fast threatening traditional broadcast and satellite TV into extinction. Everyone would be constantly connected to these wireless networks on their handy mobile devices which enable everything from VoIP, IPTV, mobile video, GPS location tracking, to full mobile PC computing functionalities; all on-the-go! Now, who needs a desktop or notebook to do all of that?

Exploiting the quirks of the quantum world could revolutionize computing, allowing information processing at speeds beyond the wildest electric dreams of your humble PC. Quantum bits will use the most fundamental characteristic of atoms and light to store information and perform calculations. Meanwhile, new materials will improve conventional computers by helping to miniaturize components and handle data with laser beams instead of electrical circuits.

Computers will advance much more quickly in the future once we are capable of advancing to that stage. Portability is one aspect and the other is the computer's use. Look at the Nokia N95: they highlight it as what Computers have become. Its got a lot of features. Eventually everything we use will be PC related, become east to move and all connected (wireless most likely) to each other. Technology will always improve and computers will become a part of our lives even more

From the day a person is born, his date of birth and other pertinent information such as the name of his parents are stored in the government's Census records using the computer. When a person gets sick, he goes to the hospital and electronic devices which are actually microcomputers check the different functions of his body for complete diagnosis. If he goes to the bank, whether he is to make a withdrawal or deposit, chances are that his transactions is processed through a computer. These are the possible scenarios you can see happen in the 21st century, simply because of the existence of these machines called computers. This tell us that computers touch every aspects of human endeavor and we simply cannot ignore their role.Specifically because of its speed, accuracy, repeatabilty and programmability, the computer cast a profound effect on everyday life.Be it at home or in the workplace, the benefits of computer can never be overlooked. It's here to stay and developed and linger for human consumption. To make things easier and faster for us. Computer would always be a willing servant, friend, mentor and teacher...

Though most computers today are classified as fourth generations it does not mean that computer development has been at standstill since then. Through the years, progress in the realm of computers grew by leaps and bounds and is still in a constant state of flux. Faster, more powerful, tremendous data storage and processing capacity-these are just some of the adjectives attached to the computers of today. Technological advances today are going so fast that it seems a major technological breakthrough is introduced every few months,whether we like it or not it is for evolving in a way that would benefit us humans as a whole...

Everyone have a device which connect to Pod where any calls will be directed to you. This could be both incoming and outgoing, and if anyone need some computing power you can even tapped onto a central CPU which will do your tasks at a fee of course. Back home, your home PC will directly connects to internet and you could serve the net without any PC. Any mobile calls will be route to your home line which is an upgrade of the MIO services.

We never thought of a computer might be able to work in our hands in last 50 years ago. Now the real computer is working in our palm even faster and cheaper! Now people making the computers and accessories as in higher performences, smaller space, and cheaper prices. What will be more beyond the limit? Just seeing of the price won't change for new products but compare to the old products they are way cheaper, smarter, and faster! There is a limit of people can touch, sense, and produce within budget. The new cyber world will combine with human body. People neither need to touch or sense. People don't need to press keys to phones or process the works. Only people need is just think within our mind! Everything will be processed by a universal computing system. People just need is to sleep, exercise, and THINK what they want!

In my opinion the future of computing depends on our teenager and the idea from the multinational company in computering.If our teenager is commited in the computer development and mastering IT in nowadays, while the multinational company in the computering doing their best effort to come up with superb system for them, surely the future will be unexpected and a booming future.

From manual calc to computer, from computer to handheld. my wild guess, NEXT will be brain wave input for SMS, launching app, calling friends(the handheld talk for u from ur brain wave input), taking notes, etc. cool right. after this will be followed by chip in human, this can control the crime and keep the world peace(who knows it will be worsen? as crime are hightech too..). now IT combine with finance, IT+chemical, IT+mechanical, IT+biology. i see biotech most likely will benefit the most from IT, we really haven't utilise all the IT power for the biology world...

I think that computing will always change in terms of speed and hardware not forgetting price..but alls well ends well. Remember the days of monstrous computers and hefty electronic prices. Nowadays , a laptop is no longer an expensive item per say, it only becomes luxury when you bought because it's the latest tech. Whatever it is, people will benefit from technology as it is the way of tommorrow. It will become so USED that manual labour might be obsolete, ONE DAY.. I do hope I'm not around when that happens..

all is well ahead of our times, except others who "geeks out" their imagination about the future, nary on what the future holds in them. for technology and its applications is about reality and being commonplace, to be an every necessity in our lives. that makes it ubiquitous, perhaps. there is grid-computing on the works, coupled with wireless tech and "convergent" gadgets, people will realise an environment with miniscule understanding but reaching broad capacities of their knowledge, lest conflict and immersion tangle to overcome what this "future would bring.

I feel that we are definitely going to move on to the age of automated helpers(compies) and Artificial Intelligence and not forgetting losing all the ugly wires process. With the progress of computing power, we are bound to reach a stage whereby the power is limited by the indirect usage method that we are practising now. So compies are just the next stage of progression whereby all the computing power can be harnessed by a more physical manner. Who doesnt like a walking interactive computer? Along with the progress of computing power, we are bound to give computers something that they have been lacking, namely logic and reason. By providing these 2 component, computers will be hugely more powerful and useful than ever before. They will be no longer just tools, but assistant, thus A.I. It is already pretty evident nowadays that we are pushing hard on wireless technology. So in the future, it bound to be so commonplace that only main underground lines are wired. Anything else, from power to internet to A/V signals will be completely wireless. Exchanging of information, updating, download, hacking and virus scanning etc etc will be on the go 24/7. Hahaha, don't future sounds nice and scary at the same time?

Anything else, from power to internet to A/V signals will be completely wireless. Exchanging of information, updating, download, hacking and virus scanning etc etc will be on the go 24/7. Hahaha, don't future sounds nice and scary at the same time?

Portable is the way forward, no doubt, devices (the all-in-one types) will get smaller, smarter, less noticeable, etc. Probably will be voice operated instead of finger-input operated, kind-of like the Star-Trek "pin"! Just give it a simple touch and it'll act to your voice command! It can even beam out a holographic "view-page" instead of needing the paper-like OLED screen! so everything in that little pin-button!

This one is easy. From the bulky computers of not so long ago, the future holds for us more portable computing gadgets. I think what's ahead of us is an "Age of Convergence" which actually works. And it's starting already. More and more people are purchasing phones with multiple functions such as camera, messaging, calling, organizer, and internet access. However at this point in time, since it's just the beginning of this age, these gadgets are basically a compromise of everything they do. The camera still has to have better resolution and the computer function still has limited memory. So, I think the future holds for us computing tools in the form of mobile phones which actually allows us to own that one thing because it perfectly does converge everything in that small thing. Convergence and portability.

The future of computing is leading us to a far higher glory which would benefit human as a whole. The advent of this technology enables us to think, process, manipulate and transform ideas and product in a much safer and faster way. The remarkable thing is, we are so occupied with this set-up and it is almost controlling our life. We have the option to see and explore far distant planet and galaxy yet we never have the time to visit an old neighbor just across the street.Ironic, yet this is how human and computing have seems to prosper...

I still believe in the idea that "technology should work for the benefit of humans and humankind." In this day and age where technology is moving forward at an unprecedented pace we, humans, find ourselves trying to keep up with the multitude of tech we've created. And at what cost? Ultimately, our physical well-being, our health. A whole slew of physical ailments due to stress induced by technology have been surfacing in the past decade or so. So where do I think the future of technology lie? I think it should be focused on benefiting us on a daily basis. Emission-free mobile devices, gadgets that integrate health monitoring cpabilities (Bluetooth ECG/EKG?), "smart" devices that "talk" to each other to cut emergency response times, holographic diagnostic machines that reduce the margin of error, etc. "What good is the ingenuity of man if it fails him at his most desperate hour?"

The "PERIOD" we live today is indeed the "regeneration of RENAISSANCE or the GOLDEN AGES in history." Computers have marked its greatest legacy on human history. It had proven the "BRILLIANCE" of men, that they could invent ways on how to propagate work output at less "manpower" and most especially "TIME." Since, computers really "EVOLVE and INNOVATE" so fast, I believe that the next to our modern-day computers would be the "HUMAN-INTEGRATED COMPUTERS and COMMUNICATION DEVICES." Why? Simply because, man tend to think that "The More Things Were Made Portable, THE BETTER." And so, I would say that these "H-I Computers" would really furnish those thinkings.

Computer era is most essential humankind invented. Not just stay as Julius Verne fiction (or maybe we should put him as a father of technology)We all expected this computerized age will be ease our life, cheating the time and increasing the value of life in many ways. Still since we are part of civilisation group, I would say prevent us from crimes (think again minority report)Loves robotkinds.
