10 years ago we gathered
around and marveled at the little specs moving at our commands, doing not much
– except moving off course, we called these things games. Today the hardware in
computers and other devices has changed significantly; we went from having a
“spacious” 1mb hard drive to 2TB of space. The graphics have also taken a giant
leap for our computers, no longer are we confined to little dots but our 256mb
to 2GB graphic cards allow us to explore a virtual world in 3d. The sound has
also changed from 4bit to 32 and pretty soon 64bit; we went from beeps to
actually words. Finally the speed of our beloved computers has also increased
from mere kilobytes to gigabytes of rams. In such a short period of time we
went from what we used to call “advanced” technology to today’s much superior
devices. So if you guys are like I am, there is one question that strikes our
mind, what’s next? Well I would love to say that we will be able to put on our
virtual glasses that will allow us to explore the virtual world as if we were
in it, but this is not likely, sorry guys; however, these sorts of glasses are
being constructed but its unlikely they will come out any time soon. What we
can expect to see is an improvement in our Text-to-speech and vise versa
programs after the 64bit sound card is released allowing the computer to
understand our voices much clearly, also we should soon be seeing more “dept”
in our computer as you may know that the most our computers can run on 32bit
resolution, it is expected that Microsoft is like to bring out a 64bit
resolution with there next version of windows. Also the speed and graphics are
to increase a lot more, already some games look as they are almost real, and
soon they will look real. I am not certain exactly what marvel the computer
hardware’s will hold in the future, but one thing is certain it will be
something to forward too, and once again the next generation will be mocking
the so called advanced technology we have today.
