For me it started with the Commodore Vic 20 and Atari Game System.
Soon I was blasting out programming on the updated Commodore 64. (I think I was able to have a sentence show up over and over with a smiley face or something- beat that!)
Note tape drive to left of keyboard…serious technology!
By college I had moved into an Apple IIC…power I thought would never be matched. It could actually work like a typewriter!
Just after college, my first PC. Loaded with a 40 Meg Hard drive.
In the late 90’s a cell phone (bag phone). Man was I cool.
Then the 2000’s start.
Smaller cell phones, text messaging, IM’ing, Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, XBox, Nintendo Wii, and the list goes on. And of course the www.
All this to ask one question….what do you think comes next? Better gaming, faster equipment?
If there was a piece of technology you could have right now that has not been invented what would it be?
I’ll start—A Mobile based version of twitter that would be voice operated.
What about me?
This is my page and my chance to share with you all the crap I dream up on a daily basis. Here are the simple facts that make up my existence..live in Nashville...avid Hockey fan (one step from face painting), father of a 6 year old (genius child- she takes after me..I mean my wife), husband (I'm pretty sure my wife would kick me out if she could figure out how), and "normal" Christian. What is normal you ask? You tell me. I think I know what normal is but then again, we all think we are the normal ones.

I think that the future will bring homes that are wired down to the last little detail. They have a lot of things out there already that are setup this way. I want to be able to control my AC and furnace from my phone. Adjust blinds, check status of washer and dryer, shut down computers. Cable television will disappear and everyone will get TV through Internet. No need for DVR when you can watch everything on demand. Everything controlled by my phone. Check home security remotely – cameras will show pictures of your home on your phone. Internet access available on flat screens all over the house, TV, Fridge, hand held….etc. Basically the technology for this already exists, its just a matter of integrating everything. I hope to build a house someday and completely wire the sucker and make it possible to update to newer technologies that come about.

Technology changes so fast that probably by the time I type this and give a suggestion, it will already be in place. I’m still dying to have an iphone, so I would be happy just with that!

It’s by no means ‘new’ technology – it already exists, just some of it is not as ‘perfected’ as it might be – or as ‘cheap’
but i would LOVE me a touch screen PC and or voice-activated one. A REAL ‘desk-top’ pc would be nice – a touch sensitive video desk surface that was ‘real sized’ (not screen sized) and used touch control.
i just this minute heard scientists in Melbourne Aus have proven technology capable of increasing DVD storage in FIVE-D ( three physical dimensions plus ability to detect also in ‘colour vaiation’ and polarity of the laser light reading the data) that has the potential to allow for up to 400 full length Hi-Def movies or 2000 standard def movies on ONE DVD! ( up to 10 Terabytes – 10,000 Gigabytes) on one disk)
Each disk is estimated to cost around 5c in materials.
for a non-existant device – matter transporter a la Star Trek – Beam me up, Scottie!
