What do you imagine an average home computer will be like 150 years from now?

I don’t think we will have monitors any more, I think they’ll still be a screen of sorts but it’ll instead be a bed of nanobot shape shifters that recreate physical objects/matter in 3D.

for example if you was speaking to a friend via the computer their face will stick out from the bed of nanobots and you would be able to touch it with it having the same texture as the real thing. Another good example would be if you was looking at car’s, a miniature but lifelike 3D model would appear on the bed of nanobots.

I think this would be an amazing tool for designers in the future as you could manipulate these nanobots into anything conceivable so long as it fits within the boundaries of the bed. So if you re-created a gun, you could fire it like a normal gun but the bullet wouldn’t pass the boundary.

As a tool I imagine computers would be limitless in it’s ability to calculate.

If we still have websites, I see them as being like multi coloured 3D blocks the rise from the bed of nanobots, each box being a website with more boxes that are the website pages that can contain 3D items, scenes, and text of course. The best example of this now would be a tag cloud but a physical 3D one. This would be so cool, with so many advantages and limitless possibilities.

What about you though,what do you think we have to look forward to in computing, 150 years from now.
Matt :) I’d be pretty disappointed if thats all we managed cos that tech in your image is probably here already and will be available to consumers soon.
