My dream for technology

Ladies and Gentleman, this is where I want technology to be in 5 years.

Imagine a device that is small and sleek.  At the same time it is large and elegant.  Imagine a device that takes the simplicity of design, but incorporates the productivity of power.  What if you got a picture message on a pocket sized device, and unfolded it to show an entire room?  Or left the tablet in the past?

 Flexibility is the point here.  What I want to see is a 3 inch phone that can unfold into a 10 inch tablet, or an 18 inch computer screen.  A device that can project a digital keyboard onto a surface to allow productivity's needs. What if your phone camera was a projector?  A Photo editor? A keyboard and mouse?  What if that palm sized 5 oz device could unfold into a desktop powerhouse, or a Wifi television?

The idea of a flexible touchscreen and projected imagery leads to so many possibilities.  If we can create pliable hardware we can fold any sized device into the palm of your hand.

What would you pay for a full sized laptop, with the power of a desktop, and the portability of a cell phone?

Do me a favor!

Technology is not ALL that complicated.  If there is one simple piece of advice I can give... It is to EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS.  Throwing it, turn it off and leaving, setting it down, or just plain yelling it at DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. 

You can do it!  Hit a few buttons, click, point, touch, explore... hell just play with it! (Yeah yeah I know thats what he/she said)

And for god sakes, stop buying how to books!

Editorial

On an off topic editorial break, I would like to salute the beauty of alliteration.  There's nothing quite as satisfying as putting together a sweet string of alliterated gold.  Something seems so serendipitous about this portion of the English language, so here is your due!

Thank YOU alliteration.

Is there an editor??

As an avid blogger and tech news follower... I normally would take an article with grace let the writer write.  But WTF happened here?  On the same page... In the same headline bar... By the same news source... Two articles arguing exact opposite points?  I was so incredible confused I had to write a post about it.  Boy Genius Report has decided Apple has risen to, and is currently great... while at the same time deciding they have taken a step back from greatness and moving away from public favor. 

You tell me? Because at this juncture I am clueless.
