Human-Computer Interfaces From 2003 to 2012
Roland Piquepaille writes "My favorite forecaster, Gartner, is back with a new series of predictions about the way we'll interact with our computing devices. Here is the introduction. 'Human-computer interfaces will rapidly improve during the next decade. The wide availability of cheaper display technologies will be one of the most transformational events in the IT industry.' Not exactly a scoop, isn't? But wait, here is a real prediction. 'Computer screens will become ubiquitous in the everyday environment.' Ready for another prediction? 'Through 2012, more than 95 percent (by volume in gigabytes) of human-to-computer information input will remain keyboard- and mouse-based.' Check this column for a summary."
No sense looking beyond 2012. Everybody knows the world will end on 12/21/2012.
Things will get more modular, kinda like the
handspring. People are slowly getting more tech
savvy. That will lend itself to people wanting
to upgrade their machines more easily. I can see
video cards, drives, memory, etc, all being in
cartridge format and snapped into your caselike
box thing from the outside with no need to open
anything up.
The most important thing any republican needs to know.
