Mike Wilson replied to Thomas Bossio's discussion 'How do you think computing will change in the future'"What about using the muscles and nerves of the hand directly for control of the computer. Rather than a mouse, wear a wrist-sensing strap assembly (or surgically implanted electrodes) to pick up nerve impulses sent to your hand muscles. You could…"

LG has a dick tracy watch
Posted on February 10, 2009 at 2:06pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I saw it in a telecom trade magazine, think it was current. LG electronics demonstrated a slim watch-sized cellular device with two-way video, web and wireless capabilities, etc. You wear it on your srist, and it is the size of a regular watch. The reviewer mentioned that he wish that LG would stick to voice and texting capabilities only, but that the device was very impressive, and to look for more of the same coming. AAARRRGHGHG - i WANT ONE, NOW!

- Yep. As for Robots, well, it they make an Asimo pretty enough, well, who knows what may happen. In the meantime, I'll lust after the 1 TB external drives that are getting cheaper by the day now, it seems. $139.95 on Newegg or somewherre.
