This is image is a little difficult to see, but do not worry tonight's blog will tell you all about it. What you see here is Silicon's design for the 2010 PC. It is about the size of a Frisbee and will one day be able to store and process as much information as today's most powerful super computers. Silicon's idea behind this computer is for it to be totally wireless except for a wall power cord plug-in. The computer will be light, fast, storage friendly, and reliable. "SECURITY: The PC will be protected from theft, thanks to an advanced biometric scanner that can recognize your fingerprint. INTERFACE: You'll communicate with the PC primarily with your voice, putting it truly at your beck and call" (Crosby 1).
To complement this advanced computer, Silicon is also designing a "true desktop." The plan is to produce a desk with a monitor touchscreen top. Similar to the touch screens on today's smart phones this desktop will be totally user friendly. Files, a keyboard, internet, you name it; the touch screen "desktop" will be another amazing technological addition to 2010. The 2010 PC and the Desktop will work together through wireless technology to eliminate the hassle of cords.
The final project behind the 2010PC is its ability to control your house. With the super computer technology behind the 2010 PC you'll be able to program the heat in your house, your television, even your coffee maker! According to Silicon, once the 2010 PC is plugged into your home, you'll be able to communicate with it vocally to confirm schedules or create new ones if you desire to do so. In the end, the 2010 PC is going to take computer technology to the next level. The control and freedom of this computer will be unrivaled by anything we've seen yet.
