G7 thru 10
Spec..
-100 Terabyte Hard Drive
-512 GB of RAM
-G10 Processor will no longer process data with lowly electricity, but instead will use light.
-"ID-ROM" Infini Drive will use multi-color luminence technology, that will compact data using everyvariation of light, thus creating a disk that will hold infinite amounts of data, (medium allowing) So @ ahh, 1billion Terabytes, and that's being safe.
What would you want? (remember we're talking about the future, so allow your every greedy desire to run wild.)
for me, I support the light idea ...and after that...plasma?

Nah, by that time...QUANTUM COMPUTING. Screw binary logic. I want quadrinary logic.
<strong>Quantum computing. An instantaneous result, unfortunately one of a simultaneously infinite number of presented results. Choosing the right one's the real trick, and pretty hard outside of a toy problem. Sorting and culling infinity takes a long time even for an infinitely fast computer.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Wouldn't an
infinitely fast computer by definition be fast at handling infinite data sets?

Please feel free to correct me with newer info, but as I understad it...
Quantum computing may very well use light. Researchers use lasers to cool gases to within a billionth of a degree of absolute zero (that's the theoretical tempature where all atomoic motion stops). It works sort of like an anti-microwave. Atoms vibrate at a cetrain freqeuncy (this is how some atomic clocks work), if you dump the right kind of energy at the exact same frequency, but one step out of phase you cancel each other out, leaving the atoms very still.
Now a neat thing seems to happen when you cool matter down to this level, it combines to form a sort of single atom. It's sort of the next state of matter.
This leaves the gas atoms in a state of intense quietness. It's a great environment to work on the quantum level, sort of a sound proof room.
There is a LOT of research in this area going on now, When I first started reading about quantum computing a few years ago, everything was saying that it would be 30 years before we would see a practal experiment of quantum computing. We have several companies like IBM building working 2, 4, and 8 qubit quantum computers TODAY.
Now as we understand qc today, it's really great for things like code breaking, because it can simutanusly evaluate all posible codes and arive at an answer instantly. Extracting the right answer from the infinite possibilities is a tough one, but they do it regularly today.
I think the coolest practical application of qc working today is quantum encryption. This enables two people to pass a key between each other and if anyone intercepts the transmission, it instantaniously corrupts the key and both parties are aware of the spy. They've got this working over several KM, and the 1st roll out will be covert (NRO, FEMA, CIA etc.) satelite comunications.
Read Ray Kurtzweil's "The age of spiritual machines" It'll give you a great idea of where we were in 1999 and provide you with lots of follow up reading material links.
Truly exotic computing ideas I've heard are quantum DNA based computers and just recently I saw an article online about a new enginered virus with quantum computing application.

Ahahhahahah, Apple got burned.
So true...so true..
But that's if Apple's around for that long. I predict that Apple will probably go bankrupt in a couple years. The current processors are a joke and the G5 is still a ways off.
Get real.
<strong>Introducing the new Power Mac G7: It's so fast that it can finish an infinite loop in 3 hours!
being that the specs were so horrible compared to the PC world that it caused the company residing at 1 infinite loop* to go bankrupt and close up shop in 3 hours?
*thats apple for those that don't know
Are there any changes from two years go? Any new interesting technologies out there.
I seriously think that before quantum computing happens, that binary light computing could be interesting...or wait...maybe combining fibre computing with quantum.
Remember this is the thread of the future.
heh.
-walloo.
p.s. Oh, and by the way, I'm listening to David Hasselhof (sp?) and some chick singing "that loving feeling" song...so if you could imagine the pain and suffering I've had during this post...there's no way you can even imagine...unless you had yours on repeat. I WANT TO EAT MY BRAINS OUT.
Errr...
..
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
I don't understand why you would want to bump such an old thread... even if it is your's.
Anyway... future eh?
Well... I hope computers become embedded within us... As powerful as need be... we would stop viewing the computer as a object we use and start viewing it as an extention of our human body. Of course by then the standard computer will be the size of a grain of rice so as to be easily implanted...
Ahahhahahah, Apple got burned.

I was wondering what this comment was about. Too bad apple doesn't exist anymore...

just think about it...

The 1947 incident provided numerous questions for us to ponder. Many won't get answered, and I'm not on that bandwagon, so I won't be able to tell you much on this.
It is interesting though what the 20th century provided us. The suddle changes from the Dark Ages (or anytime before, for that matter) through the 19th century proved nothing in the wake of the 20th.
At the rate we are goin, with talk about implants at birth (much similiar to actors in The Matrix-like learning), our human race as a whole would be able to overcome a major nuisance, the great time it takes to learn. Speaking, of course probably about a half of a millenium (1000/2 years = 500yrs) in to the future, we'll be able to complish so much more with a memory bank that doesn't randomly erase itself.
This greater control over what we remember will have a profound affect on our social system as a whole, but would greatly help us to grow as a species, intellecutally.
-walloo.
