Not impressed by high tech evolution? Just read 2007 ten emerging technologies . And what's new just now? about Computing - Super lenses and chips, to see nanometers... - Intel going on... about Communication - Optical fibers ... and the web - IBM going on... - and all the mobile stuff, changing potentially your life... about Storage - Nanotubes again... - and flash memory on your desktop about Man/Machine interfaces - what about ultramobiles ...
About Moore's law, Intel still invest strongly in 45 nanometers technology in competition with AMD, IBM, ... For the future, why not quantum computers ? May be not ready ! ..and atom thin graphite to build transistors... And this fantastic technology, RFID, with all its opportunities and risks, now at 50 micrometer size ! Man/machines interface: Suppressing the mouse , eye movement driven computer? It's an old dream. I already tried that in an IBM research lab years ago. A ...
What's next after still well living silicium ( yes , 45 nanometers... ) to go-on on Moore's law? Photonic computer is one of the opportunities. Telephone still moving: Ultramobile is the keyword. McKinsey (just register!) shows an interesting study about value of mobile phones... Man/machine interface nice evolutions: - Flexible plastics, flexible screens, even flexible RFIDs . Why not become invisible, with flexible screen as clothing and a camera behind you, ...
