Ya know, a person can do so much planning that nothing gets done. That realization came to me today while cutting my back yard. I have this big plan for this site, but still have to put it into action.
Well, since no Web site nor blog is ever really finished (my second realization), I figure I should just start. Then, add and tweak and improve as time moves forward.
Before getting on to the nitty gritty, I want to thank Greg Brooks of West-Third Group and Greg-Brooks.com for hosting this site.
Now for the real stuff. And, remember, you heard it here first: Within 10 years, maybe sooner, computer monitors will be on the way out.
They will be replaced by projections (likely 3-D) of what you now see on the screen. CRTs and flat screens will be the old technology. Users will just have a keyboard, with a little projector off the front to project whatever is being typed, or graphics, or games or other multi-media. The data will be projected into the air, not a backdrop.
After this “vision” came to me, I thought of the very first Star Wars movie, where R2D2 showed the message from Princess Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Her image was projected from R2D2 in 3-D. So, that’s what will replace computer monitoris within 10 years. Or sooner.
Maybe this is a startling prediction. Maybe it’s not. We’ll see.
