Computers in 2019 - General

[QUOTE=Satane;16153757]There's nothing in this video that can't be done in 2009. It would just be expensive as hell. In fact some rich people already have things similar to that.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and they probably get a blue screen every 5 seconds...

From what I've been reading in the past two or so years none of this is too far out of reach.

glass screens is what we need... new paper screens? ok that is just funny.

[QUOTE=Detective P;16155443]From what I've been reading in the past two or so years none of this is too far out of reach.[/QUOTE] Most of that would already be possible, but why would you spend 200$ on a coffee mug with a screen on it? Or pay 10x times more for you newspaper than a notebook costs when you can do everything on the notebook, the newspaper can, but doesn't look as awesome while doing it.

It's funny, all the people saying "I don't like this new idea, I prefer my mouse", you all sound exactly like my grandfather, who helped develop the first computer in Canada. He can't figure out how to use a mouse, he'd rather use punch cards.

Imagining gaming in the future: Multiplayer: "LOL I TUCHED UR HEAD ON A TUCHSCR33N MONITUR N GOT A HEDSHOT U GOT OWN'D!11" "Lul guyz sry g2g my 8x8 pixel handheld computr running Windows '95 ran outta dbl AA batteries" Single-Player: "Poke the screen to destroy Kim Jung's short-range missiles VIRTUALLY!"

Looking at computers or game systems now, the cost of something like this back when the Atari was advanced would be thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. But the fact that we've worked our way up, that the materials needed to produce it became more and more bought and created, and the demand for the product has gone up, the overall price of producing and owning is nowhere near what it was 10-15 years ago. The same would go for all this stuff. One could have said the same about light bulbs- "Why pay so much more for electricity and to melt the glass and blow it into a bulb and buy and make a lamp so you can have light when you can just set up a lantern?"

I don't like how you have to move your hands around like that, FFS computers are not Wii.

I'm surprised by Microsoft showing us this. Because, who invented flick and touch touch-screens? Apple. Who is trying to destroy other nations by weather to help America stop hurricanes? Microsoft. I just don't see it happening. Plus with the fail rate, what is that going to prove to me that it will [i]work[/i]? Also, inb4 2012.

Yeah right, touch screens, I'm sure that won't be tiring and exhausting at all, we'll just sit at home or in our office flailing our arms around for 8 hours a day, then we'll get home and flail our arms some more to start the TV...

What a dull future.

It looks like people don't even want to dick around on my computer.

Sure touchscreens look "oh sooo technological", but that doesn't mean they are practical to have everywhere, let alone good.

I rated the video "old" because we already have portable touchscreen PC's. They're called Netbooks with Touch-screen support <.<

My world is changing and i don't like it. fuck you microsoft.

[QUOTE=Skwee;16152119]I was waiting for the awesome video games. They never came.. THEY NEVER CAME![/QUOTE] valve is as awesome as you can get.

[QUOTE=Niteshifter;16152302]Imagine the fingerprints you would see once the computer was turned off. Also, if there were glass walls that clear everywhere, I'd probably walk into things constantly.[/QUOTE] It would be holographic

This doesn't look appealing to me at all... and I have no idea why.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;16149363]But you have to touch the mouse to use it.[/QUOTE] Haha, what are you on abou [B]HOLY SHIT!!![/B]

Rocks > All glass computers. That is all.

[QUOTE=RJ102;16149023]Mouses forever, fuck you touching[/QUOTE] I had a touch screen and It wasnt even good for World In Conflict, well only if you're in the Mega Map than its great and fun to use units and if the screen was big enough and I had a desert map I could tell people im commanding units in the Middle East

Yes, no IE

I'd rather just stick with my mouse.

I love how its a "modern" future now flying cars or jetpacks and shit. Just people with there high tech touch computers. At the rate we are going at now, this is highly possible

That is never going to happen. Nothing will ever get that standardized unless Microsoft forms its own state of dictatorship and then successfully take over the world.

I hate optimistic versions of the future. I'm gonna go watch Soylent Green.

why is the future always white?

Needs more holograms and less touchscreen.

I think it'd be badass if we had that kind of technology by 2019, but I don't think that'll happen. I can dream though...

Gnome 6.0 I guess
