| 834820 | 2009-11-30 18:13:00 | Once again - only one or two replies to the actual question ! My take on technology is that what a lot of reporting on tv as new technology is not really new technology. All it is, is just that someone has come up with a way of marketing that technology. Eg Twitter, Ipods are not new technology they are just ways of marketing it. So new technology will be ? Hard to predict ? |

| 834821 | 2009-11-30 19:16:00 | I recon it'll just be a slow evolution. After all, mp3 players, seen as revolutionary by some, are nothing more than microprocessors that got fast enough, and flash chips that got big enough, and busses that got easier to use. Look at netbooks. Nothing more than a slimmed-down notebook, cheap n cheerful processor, enough ram to get by, and a reasonable processor, with an SSD drive thrown in for good measure (again, just a big ol' flash chip, with better read/write speeds). It's not really the technology, it's how we use it. Even if we get some super-duper jaw-breaking new component, it'll just get incorporated into the same ol' stuff. Look at the much-hyped memristor, sure it looks great as a concept. It'll just end up in netbooks, laptops, desktops, the usual, and if the memory density gets to a good ratio, iPods, etc. |

| 834823 | 2009-11-30 20:01:00 | We already have one robot running the supercity farce. Not one of the top-line models unfortunately, it just seems to be a vacuum cleaner with a clown suit on. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
