Tablet

Indeed, I’ve always thought that a computer should be really easy to carry, and very hard to break. Back in 1999 there were quite a few designers in the personal computer field who envisioned bendable computers. We have that technology now, and there are lots of applications for such things like this, for instance smart phones and tablets. Imagine the US Track Relay Team passing a baton to Win the Gold then using the device to send an email to all of their mothers that they just won the gold medal? All that will be possible soon, and perhaps the computer system won’t weigh much more than one of those aluminum batons that they currently use in the Olympics, yes, imagine that? Well, imagine no longer because computer hardware scientists and researchers have it now. There is an interesting article on this in the Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence Online News titled “Flexible Paper computer Morphs Into Smartphone or Tablet” posted by the Editor on May 5, 2011. There is also a link to a YouTube video on the topic produced by Human Media Lab which focuses on the latest research by Arizona State University (Motivational Environments Research Group) and the Human Media Lab of Queen’s University; “PaperPhone: Understanding the Use of Bend Gestures in Mobile Devices with Flexi Electronic Paper Displays” It’s hard to say exactly where computer hardware will go in the future when it comes to tablet computers, but I think it’s safe to say that they will have video and holographic conferencing features, and they will be all-in-one devices. This new technology for a bendable computer makes a lot of sense also, and why not. It seems each time that Apple comes out with a new iPhone version there are more important features, and leading edge technology which emerges. So, I ask when will one of these bendable iPad tablet computers hit the scene? Will it be in 2012, 2013, 2014, or what is your guess? You see, it would seem to me that a bendable tablet computer is what everyone will be carrying around in the future. They can shove it in their back pocket and not worry about sitting on it. It will be unbreakable and indestructible, and just the fact that such computer hardware exists means that other applications for tablets used in industry and business will soon become more viable. Indeed, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it. If you have any comments, concerns, questions, or case studies for future prototype designs then please shoot me an e-mail. |
Great Value for the Price!
