Pcmag.com

E-ink, (search google)

intel in macs (looking at the gadgets, for example the new mac can track flights at real time.. The macs also have a i-translator, allows the user to type a word, say in English and turn it into another language of the users choice: [type]Hello, [turn to french], Bonjour. This could be a problem when it comes to the future as language teaching could decline due to the intelligence of computers.

Bill gates future theory: Primarily Bill gates underlines a parallel between the popularity of the mobile phone and the computer concluding to a plausable outcome that the two medias will find it very hard to meet in the middle.Bill Gate's predicts the phone will become highly adaptable, replicating the modes of a P.C by its forever growing wide, high defintion screen and its feature-like p.c spec. In short, why have a huge p.c when in theory you can carry it round in your pocket? Quite an interesting debate, personally i think a little drastic but completely understand the underlining point that the future seems to be obsessed with minimalisation.

Today our Multimedia group were introduced to the new brief Multimedia Practice - MUH82:Design Futures. From looking at the brief at a first glance it is clear that there is a great amount of research to be done addressing design. In order to create a future design concept I must start by researching past designs to present and ways in which they can evolve.
