You guys are something else, I needed a lift and this gave it to me.

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.

I know that our governments have a legitmate task force to watch out for hords of blind terroists, or people with holes in their heads. I'm thinking that having a hole in your head will make it pretty easy to identify a person anyway. LOL, LOL

I thought that was quite funny when writing it. But what ever works for a security test. You could even have a count for head holes.

No seriously, if it becomes a universal nationwide test... what do those people do? Or how about people who lose an eye? I'm not talking about national security concerns, just about implementation.... sure it sounds funny but as engineers/designers they have to consider and account for such possibilities before they sign off on it

I don't think that it would be relevant. If we were using the method to ID lost and homeless blind people with amnesia then I could see an issue. Hmm! now you've somehow got me into this. PRISONER THIS IS YOUR DEBATE.

The nanocomputer
http://www.wildirisdesign.com/nano/nanocomputing.html
is due November 1, 2011. Its says there was a $100 bet in '95, do you think the bet will be adjusted for inflation? lol.

As for the Retinal Scan, you have to focus your eye for 15 seconds on a specific part of the scanner, if thats the current tech, i don't see scanners (like whats in minority report) used to indentify people in the public until at least 2020, or so, it may not even happen if people think it cuts into there freedom (at least in the states)

Hey Pop

No they don't have to focus on your eyes for an extended period anymore.nIn fact with some of the new technology coming out they can read your retina without your permission or you even knowing it from several feet away.

I only discovered that information when I got drawn into this thread, before then I was with you on nano technology and even posted the info from the site your quoting.

Now Praetor and Prisoner has drifted deep into scifi horror, with the identifying blind people with holes in their heads. LOL

I want the computer implanted into me "Neuromancer" style along with the tinted-glass eyes that one lady had with the HUD in them.

The ultimate in portability!

Praetor, as a half engineer you should know that even the glass fake eyes are different. Glass has a dentincy to shift and take up colours differently. My anut is an artist whom has been trying to mix metal, cermaic and glass. Very interesting art, and would be good for automotive ete stuff. But we should get off this hole in the head disscussions. I can`t stop laughing when writing this. Or create a medical thread dedicated to head injuries.

Nephilim, there working on that. I was considering doing a post doc with a lab in New York that has not only been able to map thoughts into the motion of the cursor, but do it with out physical implantation. All you would need is my pair of sunglasses and a neuro hat and you could do all your computer stuff hands free.

Back on this one. I think Computers will be so advanced, you won't need to buy Video and Sound cards or possibly even memory. Everything will be all on one small little chip, Processor, Video, Sound,unbelievable Memory and EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! It will be superb....We won't be using DDR memory, it will be the thing of the past just like Commodore and Atari, a whole new technology will be here. The computer will be pretty small, the size of a Laptop or smaller and the Main chip to run everything will be very small. It won't have a DVD writer/ Won't even use DVD's all the data, Movies, Audio and everything will all be on a small chip card. Bassically the only two pieces inside the computer will be some advanced Mother board with one chip, and every 5 years you will upgrade whole computer, you won't even use half the computers power the first few years. By this time a calculator will be bassically be comparable in memory to what we have today. Maybe I should have put computers 20 years from now. I mean if you think about it, computers will get more simple, you won't need to buy bulky video cards, and memory everything will be on a chip the size of my finger nail. We won't use monitors anymore, everything will be just displayed in thin air, any size you want it. Kinda like on Star wars with c3PO's little video thingy, but it will be far better quality then that, it will be real life looking. Will all be introduced around 2020-2030.

we probably wont even have time for the luxuries we enjoy now. :cry: as time goes on the work day gets longer and longer. then we seem to drag ourselves into the mud and drown, only to start the technology wheel over again. terrible cycle, terrible.

No I cann`t see that happening at all. Work and stuff moves in cycles. We had a time of short days and easy work. It didn`t really work, but long work days also don`t work. Unless you are working at home. Which is more of the future I see. More people walking around with portable computers and working at home on there work. Why have a wide open office with games when you could give your imployees portables and if they want air they will be at the lake working. I already see this. People with notebooks working and on the phone or wireless connected to the internet. This is more the future of work I can see. So might be longer hours, but you will be somewhere else not in a cubical geting it done. Banks learned this, thats why I see more phone and internet bank options. Why talk a person when you can get it done correctly on a computer.

it really depends what line of work you are talking about here. banks can work online...thats easy. its all money. but what if your a security guard??? how u gonna nab a criminal when ur a mile away watching him on your PDA?? jobs like those need hands on experience, osmething that a computer might not be able to do forquite some time. but i do see your point...office cubicals will probably be a thing of the past pretty soon. my dad works from home alot cuz its just affective having meetings online as it is in an office most of the time.

...the matrix isn't realistic. i think teleportation would be easier than figuring out "the matrix" in reality and learning to fly around lol. i think in 10 yrs. the most advanced it will probably get is all secured rooms and stuff will have computer controlled locks and windows and doors so once someone is inside and detected they can't escape, and the cops just come and pick them up.

Well 4W4K3, your not thinking out of the box. Yes a security guard will not be able to work at home, but I am saying saidly there will not be security guards. Why.

If we are all online working, shoping ete. Then the security guards of the future will be at the websites, preventing hacking and cracking and online theft. If you remove the store front, then you remove all the personalization. So the only things left would be tourist traps that people visit. They may need security guards, but with online photos and stay inside working all the time, people would be so afaid to leave the house that they no longer leave. thus elimating all outdoor needs. Well except for the deliveries of the online grocery stores. So all you really need then are delivery men/women that will have the roads to them selfs.

A possible future, but you never rally no.

i get what ur saying...i guess i'm just thinking that thats a little extreme. remove the ENTIRE storefront in 10yrs. seems quite impossible, and i know i would have a problem with never going to the mall again, or going outisde, or meeting my friends up at mainevent or places like that. there could be issues with mallrats if we decide to take out all the stores lol.
