What do you think about new technology?

New Technology is Great as well as Bad.\n\nWhen it comes to great, you can perform complex things very easily. There are entertainment and other stuff that can be easily achieved by the use of new emerging technologies.\n\nWhen it comes to the bad side, you get several privacy issues where a legitimate user is blackmailed by an ethical hacker and blackmailed. There are also crimes that start through technology. (e.g. Chatting).\n\nSo, it is us, who have to prioritize the technology according to our needs and gain the maximum benefit.\n\nBYE

I think technology is keeping families in touch information wise but we are not (IN TOUCH).  We no longer sit down to dinner with the family anymore now we don't even have to go thru the task of talking on the phone or writing a letter. When was the last time you sat around and just relaxed with family and friends and connected on a personal level?\n\n We are connected but in NO WAY are we IN TOUCH.

It's huge.  It has changed the way the world does business.  It has absolutely changed the world.  It is the information highway.  It is a world of info at your finger-tips.  People talking to people all over the world.  \n\nAnd with this outstanding unbelieveable technology, I see morons and the things they choose to communicate and the time they waste in chat rooms etc.  And I think, "wow, such a huge tool and so much you can do with it...and this is all your small minds can think of to use it for?"\n\nWOW, ignorance gone to seed.

1.) More storage capacity in smaller sizes\n\n2.) Faster processing speeds - Intel recently stated that within 10 years, there will be up to 100 cores on a single processor.  Processors clocked at over 5Ghz should be possible in the next 4 years.\nhttp://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70285-0.html\n\n3.) Transition from desktop applications to network/online applications to provide more extensive interoperability between systems.\n\n4.) Outplacement of other media devices to allow computers to become the center of every home and personal entertainment system.  No more TV, DVD, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD, Audio, etc.  All media will pass through a centralized or portable computer/device.\n\n5.) Production boom of portable devices.  Within ten years, 80% of the world's population will access the internet via a device other than a computer.  These devices will support more storage, faster processing and greater functionality as they evolve into personal communication and media hubs.\nBruce Chizen - Adobe CEO - MAX 2006\n\n6.)Everything wireless.  Peripherals have already begun working on BlueTooth and other WiFi technologies.  Wireless power supply is currently under development.\nhttp://networks.silicon.com/mobile/0,39024665,39164122,00.htm\n\n7.) Biometrics.  Computers will advance security with the addition of biometrics to recognize users via fingerprints, retinal scans and or facial recognition software.  Users will be automatically logged into their system/device.\nhttp://crave.cnet.com/8300-1_105-1-0.html?keyword=biometrics\n\nI'm sure there are lots more.  But these are some of the major movements in the industry right now.  Nano technologies and bio-technologies could also ignite new pathways for future advancedments.

21st Century Modern Inventions:\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa063002a.htm\n\nWow... there are some pretty cool inventions.  Check it out!

I quite disagree with Darrius. The law of accelerating returns and Moore's law make it inevitable that by no later than 2040 we will have advanced so far technologically that we will be able to do all that they do in the Matrix movies and more. We won't need  a huge spike driven into a hole in the back of our heads though. (Ever hear of wireless networks?)\n\nWithin a decade or two we will be able to supplement our brains with implants allowing us to parallel process (multi-task), enjoy instant and total memory recall, and communicate via the then ubiquitous, wireless Internet with other people or computers including being able to download information. \n\nThis is just scratching the surface. Check out my source links and hang on, we're all about to go on one heck of a ride.

Thanks for the invite. Interesting site.\n\nRe: technology - Don't rely on any tool you don't know how to make.

Electronics, specifically electronics design, has the potential to be the next big thing after software.\n\nReasons are the same as those for explosive growth of software.

I see the future of telecom tech as far more inter-connected than it is today. Anyone who has a telecom device will be able to advertise their availability to every other device holder on the planet, establish virtual contact which will include all 5 human senses in 4d (real time), and eventually be able to transmit solid objects from one user to another by using the handheld teleportation device.\nRecent tech has only just brought into the fore the second sensory transmission ability, visual, in 2d real time. This trend will simply continue to advance as it has been.

Technology has made our world so much smaller. It is through this wonderful thing called the internet that we are able of discuss religion with monks in tibet and rock music with hippees in england all without leaving our homes.\nTechnology has allowed us to keep a close knit family relationship cheaply and more easily despite the impedances of distance. Through advances such as webcams and cellular phones I am able to talk to my dad in California for a fraction of what it would have cost just ten years ago.\nTechnology is modelling our society into one without boundaries. It is ever bringing us closer to one another. Whether we want to be close or not.

You don't miss what you don't have. It was like us before the future technology. We don't think about it (most of us anyway).

I don't think the people will think it's better or worse than now.  But if one of us were to pop up all of a sudden 100 years from now we'd be in shock.  The change in the world due to technology in the past 100 years is incredible, but the advances that the knowledge we now have are going to enable for the future are going to make the world an entirely different place.  Hopefully it will get better because the alternative is probably destruction.

Early adopter? No thanks.\n\nI've only got one body and one brain, and I don't have any desire to mess them up with bleeding edge (literally?!) technology. You can't reboot your head if something goes wrong.\n\nHaving said all that, more power to those of you who are willing to risk it. It's just not for me.

no.  I'm very concerned about this type of technology because it IS here just waiting to be implemented , but i think it is dangerous.  before long all people would have tracking devices implanted so that your whereabouts could always be known. that's scary.  it would of course start with a good sounding reason...like as a solution to identity theft but the result would be disastrous.  at the risk of being called a conspiracy nut, i do think that this may very well be the "mark of the beast" from revelation without which no one will be able to buy of sell.  no thanks..not for me or mine..i would fight any such attempt to institute this practice.

Wireless devices will be everywhere. The phone, camera, and computer will merge with the internet. Vast databases of information will store, calculate, and notate every change everywhere. We will lose more privacy because of satellite imaging and web cameras. I know communications will become "one touch" access. The way we communicate will make the biggest changes. Look at what engineers have accomplished so far. Electronics is communication.
