What will be the personal computer in 2000
Contest ideas on the subject conducted by the American company "Apple has created the first personal computers in 1976.
in the competition won the group Students of the University of Illinois. Winners of the fancy computer near future as a box the size of a thick overall notebook. On one side of the box - the color screen on the liquid crystals. There are no keys or buttons, except the power button. Image buttons with the usual set of numbers, letters and signs appeared on the screen when you turn on the computer. To enter the car text or numbers, it is necessary to touch the images of the keys on the screen. Another way - Write directly on the screen of any pointed object. Written is stored in memory or in manuscript form, or by the owner converted into typewritten text, which immediately displayed on screen and can be printed on a computer connected to the printer. In the same way possible to create various graphics and curves.
If now personal computers are connected to data banks and to other such machines through the telephone network, while in 2000 they will be contacted with the outside world by radio. In addition, the screen can be called any television program.
Radio communication with the system of navigation satellites and the data bank Transport will allow the owner of this computer at any time by visiting the site on the planet to within a few feet and quickly calculate the most short and convenient route to any other point. And if that computer is kidnapped, you will immediately know where he is sending a broadcast their personal call signs.
creation of such a PC would not require new breakthroughs in technology or scientific discovery. Virtually everything you need for it уже существует.
