So it’s Wednesday Again

So it’s Wednesday Again.

That means current event.  Let’s see what’s on the good old news.google.com.

 

I think I’ll go with this article…

Demand for tablets hits PC shipments

It’s a short article because I’m short on time and it’s late and I’m sleepy.  Sooooo… here goes…

 

So talk about sleepy.  I just fell asleep. HA!  I typed that I was tired and then bam… out.  I’m going to keep this short since I’m so super sleepy.

 

One word.  It’s all about the interaction.  Interaction.  People want devices that they can touch.  Ok, maybe people don’t.   But when I say people… I mean, I myself want devices that I can interact with via touch.   Here’s actually something I bring up a lot when I’m talking about the future of computing…

I think the weakest chain in the link has to do with getting the information from my brain to the computers “brain” or processor and then to be stored on the hard drive.  OR vice versa!

Right now the interaction HAS to be done through touch.  Through some sort of device that I can manipulate through my hands.  Keyboards, mice, touch tablet interfaces.

So just think about how much of a slowdown this is for getting information TO and FROM the PC: TO and FROM my brain.

I believe that the biggest advance we will see next in computing will be the removal of that bottleneck.  So somehow we can better interface with typing or manipulating the on screen pointer device.

I am not saying that we need USB ports on our brains.  I’m just saying that perhaps doing away with the mouse and keyboard and introducing alternative means to input data might be more productive.  Maybe for the pointer device is to do away with the pointer device and make it touch oriented as in how tablets work.

Who knows!  The future is pretty awesome and has some interesting things in store for us!
