THE FUTURE OF COMPUTERS

2009-10-05T07:00:00.002+01:00

Computers have started becoming more advanced and they will also become easier to use.
Improved speech recognition will make the operation of a computer easier. Virtual reality,
the technology of interacting with a computer using all of the human senses, will also contribute
to better human and computer interfaces.

Standards for virtual-reality program languages—for example, Virtual Reality Modeling language (VRML)—are currently in use or are being developed for the World Wide Web Exotic models of computation are being developed, including biological computing that uses living organisms, molecular computing that uses molecules with particular properties, and computing that uses deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the basic unit of heredity, to store data and carry out operations. These are examples of possible future computational platforms that, so far, are limited in abilities or are strictly theoretical. Scientists investigate them because of the physical limitations of miniaturizing circuits embedded in silicon. There are also limitations related to heat generated by even the tiniest of transistors.

Intriguing breakthroughs occurred in the area of quantum computing in the late 1990s. Quantum computers under development use components of a chloroform molecule (a combination of chlorine and hydrogen atoms) and a variation of a medical procedure called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compute at a molecular level. Scientists use a branch of physics called quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles (particles that make up atoms), as the basis for quantum computing. Quantum computers may one day be thousands to millions of times faster than current computers, because they take advantage of the laws that govern the behavior of subatomic particles. These laws allow quantum computers to examine all possible answers to a query simultaneously. Future uses of quantum computers could include code breaking and large database queries. Theorists of chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics are now working to determine the possibilities and limitations of quantum computing.

Communications between computer users and networks has started benefiting from new technologies such as broadband communication systems that can carry significantly more data faster or more conveniently to and from the vast interconnected databases that continue to grow in number and type.

Another improving area is the nanotechnology. For instance, Nanobot Computers of the Future (see picture below) is a microscopic, computerized robot, also known as nanobot, upper left, looks for life-threaten blockages in a human blood vessel, as imagined in this artist's futuristic illustration. The hypothetical robot uses rotary blades to break up the blockage and suction nozzles to remove the gray plaque. The disk-shaped objects in the illustration are red blood cells. Some scientists say that the ever-shrinking size of computer chips will open up an era of nanotechnology in which microscopic machines will perform a vast number of functions, including medical diagnosis and treatment such as shown here.

use your PC—and the way your PC connects with the world.
Windows 7 can be installed on a fresh PC and you can as well
upgrade Windows XP/vista to windows 7 provided your system
meets the minimum installation requirements. If you want to
run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Improved taskbar and full-screen previews
The taskbar at the bottom of your screen is what
you use tolaunch programs and switch between
them when they're open. In Windows 7 you can
pin any program to the taskbar so it'salways just
a click away, and you can rearrange the icons on
the taskbar just by clicking and dragging. The icons are
made considerably bigger, too, so they're easier to use.
Hover over the icons and you'll see thumbnails of every
file or windowthat open in that program, and if you hover
over the thumbnail, you'll see a full-screen preview of
that window. Move the cursor off the thumbnail and
the full-screen preview disappears.

Desktop enhancements

Windows 7 simplifies how you work with the windows on

your desktop. It give you more intuitive ways to open, close,

resize, and arrange them. With Windows 7, it's easier to do

things you do all of the time. For example,before, when you

wanted to compare two open windows, you had to manually

resize your open windows to show them side by side. With

Snaps, you can simply grab a window and pull it to either

side edge of the screen to fill half the screen. Snap windows

to both sides, and it's easier than ever tocompare those windows.

Another thing you may want to do is quickly see your gadgets or

grab a file from your desktop. To see your desktop justmove your

mouse to the lower right corner of your desktop. That'll make all

the open Windows transparent—so your desktop is immediately visible.

Want to get all but one window out of your way? Grab the top of that

window, shake it and all the other open windows will minimize to the t

askbar. Shake the window again, and they'll all come back.

Now you see them...

Now you don't: See through to the desktop with invisible windows
