Well thats what happens when the common man is added to the equation. Most of really high tech fun computer stuff is for the geek like me. But the common man is what makes it cheap. I do see major issues in the future and it does take about 5 to 10 years for a good new tech to make it big. Cd`s were 10, DVD`s I think were 5.
But elimating all moving parts is something we need. But I heard a report on chips you could imbed in your arm that have your entire medical history. Master card is looking at this for credit charges. In competion with retina scans. This is scarry, yet cool at the same time. "Yes just swip your arm sir/madam"

AKA 666. Along the same lines of the "Biochip"

Ya its quite scarry. But we will see who wins the Retinal scan (Minority report) or the imbeded chip. Both would be done at birth. But atleast the chip I could pry out of my arm with a knife. Going through eye surgury would be a pain.
But on the topic of the thread, I think we will see some really crazy security features in the next 10years for computers.

I think both are already in use in a limited fashion and with the new airport security measures being put into place, I'm putting my money on retinal scans. Unlike chips they can't be removed or altered. Yea I know they did it in Minority Report.

retinal scans while in use are still very limited. and they still have lots of flaws. anyways,,,i think in 10yrs. were going to have a computer built-in to our living place. it'll be like in the wall...and you program it yourself like an AC unit. it can tell what room your in, what your doing, when your next appointment is, like a dayplanner...cept digital and it is inside your house. anyone read the book "Fahrenheit 451" ? its very good...has alot to do with mankind and technology.

And how do retinal scans deal with blind people? :S

Blind people still have retinas.

Yes but arent' they "deformed" or whatnot (pardon my naivite)? And while "normal" eyes may be unique... people who get severe burns and such ... eyeballs burn the same way for everyone ... so wouldnt it be the case to no longer have unique retinas?

Anything is possibe but since retinal scans are designed to identify people who have limited access to a secure area or to identify someone who is a possible threat. I don't expect to see a lot of blind terrorist but even a deformed retina would still be unique.

Perhaps they will find a way to scan for genetic material, that would truly identify a person as unique.

some are deformed...others are just not functioning (retinas) mine are slightly mis-shaped and set back too much (hence VERY bad eyes i have lol) but they would still scan i imagine. thumb scans are for people without eyes lol...that or they have a digital retina created for them on a card..and just scan through...all digital eyes are different too. just thinking out loud..

That make sense in a military enviornment ... but not airports.

Yeah that's what i was referring to.... saw that on CNN a couple weeks back ... how do those work for people with "nonstandard retinas"?

Follow the second link I posted, I think it's explained there.

Size of chips are going to have to change as processor manufacturers are hitting a "wall" so to speak. I really don't care for the size of a chip, for me it's evolution. I would rather have faster/better stuff now than have to wait for "smaller" implementation of the device. My greatest want would be fast almost instantaious transfer speeds of files. Applied to say Bluetooth type devices, USB devices (like flash devices), storage devices in general. So when I have to back up or fix a PC, I don't have to wait and wait and wait for the full installation of an OpSys or transfer of info from one media to another to help the instal (Office Products, Norton etc.).
I mean what is the point of having a 10 ghtz Proc. and gigs of HD space when it will take you HOURS upon HOURS to transfer large files to portable USB devices needed to make your work easier? Example, I just picked up a 120 WD JB HD (If you know what exactly I meant then tou are a Techie! But back to my point) plus external enclosure and it took me 3 hours on a USB 2.0 connection to transfer 1 FOLDER!!! Granted it was like 8 gigs of info in thate folder but damn it gets annoying!

Yep! Same with Gigabit (or even 10/100) FTP servers.... why have them if you have to copy 40,000 512K files.... it will take damn near forever LOL

That's where I think technology can get the most benefit from. If you can get faster transfer speeds between items than that will translate over to other parts (Proc, Ram etc. although I would kill for a 40 gig "Ram" type of drive!!!).

Have a look for Solid State Drives :) ... dont quite think they hit 40GB but give them time! :)

Large physical flash drives would certainly be faster than the current hard disk. Another speed boost would be if the frontside bus ran at the same speed as the cpu.

why not do away with FSB all together? I want to see everything intergrated into the chip itself, ram, storage, video ram. Less loading time, no I/O errors, no drivers integrate all the buses onto the processor (chip) itself and everything will be running at the speed of the processor. Do away with slot loaded BS, usb firewire etc.
I hate the current state of computers, I got 10 peripherals sticking out of my box, and my friends laptop looks like a friggin' tumble weed. How is that convenient? Processors are going to have to have embedded instructions in the future, so I can destroy every useless peripheral I own.

Like Intel, AMD said that new microprocessors are expected with additional features rather than faster speed. Those include support for DDR-3, more cache, and more controllers in the chip.

To first get back at the security features. Eyes are all different. The rate of cateracts and defects (genetic) are different. So that will not effect the retinal scan. Only problem is that the rate of cateract or eye alternations do change over time. So that may need to be programed in to show a deterioration over time.
The best technology would be Genetic information that would even isolate twins with the same eyes.
The all-in-one chip idea sounds cool. Get some liquid nitrogen cooling and you would be set.

Yes all eyes might be different but what happens if you've had some horrible accident and say... dont have eyes?

Then I would expect that the hole in your head would be different then others. As eyes are different there are a lot of sutile differences in peoples faces. So I would expect the hole to have a different depth, width and pocket colouration then other individuals.
Still might work for eye less individuals.
