At the pace technology is developing, it may not take too long to have the kinds of image projection we have seen in sci-fi movies.</p>\n<p><strong>The tendency has been to reduce the bulk of Hardware devices</strong>. With cell phones it went to a minimum size before they changed to bigger and more hi-tech units (as someone commented here, smart phones look now like tablets), but I think <strong>it will take a turn towards the actual disappearance of the physical display</strong> for one that can be generated by a device, just like holographic representations, so that TV sets, computer monitors, and any other kind of monitor will be obsolete and unnecessary. </p>\n<p>The quality of the image will be higher than any other achieved so far (8K?) and <strong>the idea of having a tiny device become whatever screen one may need at the size one wishes according to the occasion is one not too farfetched</strong>. Touchscreen technology has already made <strong>mouses</strong> obsolete, <strong>printers</strong> should be going too, making the office environment less crowded and over furnished with bulky machines. Total <strong>e-filing</strong> is not far from our present times (at least it can be for those cultures that really want to stop wasting natural resources and generating unnecessary wastes). </p>\n<p>It will be nice to be able to, say, drive your car and virtually generate your computer monitor at will (voice, gesture commands), as well as TV for the kids, as well as any other device. “<strong>Out of thin air” will mean something totally different in the near future.</strong></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3laz6hhx","appParentAuthor":"jehonathan","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
