The
future of Computer Hardware Technology I believe is going to be focused on the
way users interact with their computer. I believe this will include
advancements in both the interface and in new methods of input. Some of these
advancements will include 3D displays, hologram displays, further advances in
touchscreen technology, augmented displays, voice controlled computers, and
other computer hardware advancements that will make using a computer feel more
natural for the user. The future of computer hardware is looking to create a
more intuitive experience for the user where little to no training on using the
computer is needed. The goal is for the user to be able to do whatever they
feel and for the computer to be able to pick up the user’s instinctive actions and
interpret it as a logical input that the computer will comprehend and perform a
task according to that user’s action. In addition to a more user-friendly
atmosphere, the future of computer hardware technology I believe is looking to
be able to cross from platform to platform and work in uniform with most other
forms of technology. In essence, I agree with an article from Computerworld “Future
shock: The PC of 2019” where in the near future data on a main computer at home
can be transferred to a smaller, portable version of a computer (similar to a
smartphone) and this device can then unlock your car, have access to personal
information on the go like checking bank accounts or stock portfolios, and then
this same device can be plugged into a station at work for a business meeting
and display your presentation to your clients. With the increasing amount of
devices that use software similar to what they call a “cloud” or online place
to store information that can be accessed on the go by mobile devices, I
believe that we are very close to a future where we can access any and all
information on the go and control them in ways similar to floating visual touch
displays that we thought we’d only see in sci-fi, secret agent type movies.
I
am in agreement with my classmate M Lorena Alvarado’s post on the future of
computer hardware technology where she describes how the “better” and “improved”
products of the future will be smaller, lighter, and more portable to act as a
commodity for the user. However, I believe that new smartphones and such to
come are done being marketed as being smaller than its predecessor, but will
rather focus on being more productive and efficient than ever before.
