Wired's Wish List For 2013
jpt.d writes "Wired has a nice article on what they wish to be for 2013. It is not too far fetched either! My personal favorite is the roll up television screen made of light-emitting-polymer. How about another Apple gadget? Their first item is an iPhone bracelet, including the functionality of a 'PDA, wireless Internet, a mini iPod, and, of course, a phone.' Notice the Apple logo in the picture." I'd settle for ubiquitous unmetered wireless network access.
It really is an article about the future!
you know, that X squared OS by Apple they show on the 2013 wristband is nicknamed Parabola.
I too would settle for unlimited wireless internet access everywhere. While we are at it I would settle for a few million and a supermodel wife who is also a contortionist.

I've never really cared much for apple products, but damn i want that watch...though there may be problems with the scroll/whatever action if the motion detector always responds to quick wrist motions :)
just put a blasted alarm clock in them...
Sheesh.
I hope by 2013 I can own a robot that will get first post on /.
The following statement is false.
The previous statement is true.
Welcome to my world.
Pets that eat poop instead of make it (Thus creating a circle of life between real and artificial pets.)
A 300 GHz computer with 64 GB of RAM that won't skip or delay even if it wanted to.
Reassurance that 1 term of a Bush in charge and bad economic times can equate to 2 terms of some other guy in charge for 2 terms and good economic times, and an occasional scandal that keeps things interesting.....
Oh yeah, world peace and smell-o-vision.

Am I the only one who sees a problem with the interface of something like the iPhone. Taking it is going ot go round you wrist the only reasonable interfaces are very small button, or voice recognition. Button would be to small and I don't like the idea of having to stand in the street shouting "Ring Wife".
:)
Also how do you speak? Do you have to shout at the braclet or will you have to hold it up to your ear and look like a prat? OK it does have an earphone but its still a fun image

640MB of RAM is enough memory for anybody.

Knowing the US itll be more like SUV's the size of dump trucks.
"Smell you later" replaces "goodbye" in the English language.
Shouldn't they be predicting that Apple will be out of business by 2013?

I think Moore's law will put you around 1.5THz in 2013.
But your system will still skip and delay because you'll be running Windows 2013.

I found this article to be horribly unrepresentative of how technology, particularly entertainment/information technology, progresses. Wherever technology goes, pornography is already there, waiting for it. Seriously, there wasn't any mention of technology in that article geared towards the production, distribution, or enjoyment of pornography, nor was there any mention of technology designed to enhance or simulate sexual experiences. Can any serious discussion of future technology exist WITHOUT mention of the pr0n industry? I think not. This article is, therefore, worthless.
