New and Emerging Technology

Now lets look at how the future of technology may effect digital graphics.

Mobile Phone
I had a little look at mobile phones and found this:
Future of Cell Phones 7

Now although this phone has not been named some of the features of the phone have been listed. The phone is touch screen but its different to today's touch screen its made from graphene which makes it essentially indestructible, even to water. The phone can be bent(without breaking it) like so:











It takes 30 seconds to fully charge the battery and it should be on the market sometime within the next ten years showing you how much technology should evolve in such a short time. It also shows you how much digital graphics are evolving that picture can be physical bent on device as simple as mobile phones so how knows what can be done to digital graphics on computers.


Computers
Now I know it's hard to imagine how more advanced computers could possibly get but the Vaio Zoom looks to be one incredibly advanced laptop compared to nowadays computers.

The screen is completely transparent when turned off but when turned on image is pushed through this quite thin area of transparent glass which if you think about it is actually not that far off from holographs, a bit like the ones you saw in old futuristic movies. The keyboard also uses the same kind of technology, the keyboard can only be seen when the laptop is on when the laptop is off the keyboard disappears. 


So from Vaio Zoom we see some huge changes to digital graphics. We see that the physical keyboards that we know may become a thing of the past thanks to these virtual keys and the fact that image can be seen on transparent glass shows that technology no longer need the monitors we use on all of our computers at home and it also shows that technology may not be that far away from creating images that require no monitors to present them.
