Virtual Laser Keyboard – Back To The Future
The new bluetooth virtual laser keyboard will revolutionize the industry because it represents a paradigm shift – away from common input devices that we use daily. Comparable to the size of a small TV remote control, this portable keyboard allows for ease of use by people with disabilities and all but eradicates health concerns of standard keyboards. Also, since it projects a laser display, you will never experience the “stuck” key syndrome. Clean and Green – Back to the Future!!!
Everyone remembers the futuristic cartoon “The Jetsons” and their technological advancements with daily activities: the flying car, the robotic maid and watch dog, the skylift and numerous other labor saving devices. As children, we longed to see the day when we would live in a world where life was controlled by the use of a single button. Yet in reality, during this time, automated technologies were in their embryonic stages and worldwide computer usage was at a bare minimum.
Revolutionary
Computers and video games were groundbreaking inventions because they changed the way we worked and had fun. Sort of like what the pen and pencil had done, as compared to a feather and ink. Computers were a step beyond the conventional output devices used during the time period and they made us feel like we were moving toward a futuristic world. The typewriter, which was the first successful mechanical device using hand movements to communicate complex thoughts, was eventually phased out of production and daily usage. If you ask a 10 year old to describe the machine called a typewriter, you’d get a look of puzzlement.
Actually, the typewriter is still around! Yet, not in its original limited capacity, name and bulky form. They have evolved into computers. Computers were designed in a fashion similar to typewriters, so that its users could easily adapt to them. The computer keyboard kept the same “qwerty” format as its predecessor – the typewriter – and the
Coming Soon: The Future! or Where the Heck is My Flying Car?
I can recollect it like it was yesterday, it’s a beautiful spring day in 1993 and I was sitting in my 3rd grade study room. We received children’s science mags and deliberating all of the fantastic gizmos within that were due in, THE FUTURE! Bigger PCs, smaller computers ( and even less expensive ones ), cameras with small screens that showed the photograph you just snapped, strong games systems with-wait for it….16 BITS! Whatever those are! The one thing that really stuck with me though, was the automated vehicle. It had something similar to a GPS built in, where you would program in coordinates and the automobile would follow those directions. How it might sense other automobiles, traffic lights, and stop signs, I have no idea and it actually failed to cross my mind at the time. The vehicle was meant to start on it’s own and drive to your destination, essentially chaffering you. And for some unknown reason there would be a microwave in the dashboard. At the end of the outline was the sentence, Even a 7 year old would be in a position to drive! Why, I was seven! That meant when this vehicle came out in the near future, I would be in a position to get one! Happy, I awaited the day my fabulous automated auto would roll off the production line. And waited, and waited and here I’m seventeen years on and the nearest thing to an automatic car is a strip of highway in japan that uses magnets to drag your automobile.
I am not getting it. I am not now in the future, where’s all of the hi-tech stuff?
Corporations have been advertising all the amazing things they are going to be putting out in THE FUTURE since their inception, yet perhaps only 1 percent of them ever reach the general public. More if they’re heavily redesigned. Why advertise something and promise to the public, but then not deliver? Duke Nuk’em for good anyone? In reality the self driving automobile has guaranteed to the public as far back as
