Apple: What to expect from technology in the future?

Apple demonstrated what computers will look like in the not-too-distant future.

Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro professional laptops on October 18. In terms of design, performance, and pricing, the upgraded gadgets were praised. Furthermore, there have been lively discussions on the internet regarding what the computers of the future would look like. Futurologists agree that current devices will become increasingly dependant on the quality of the Internet connection, will no longer be pricey and customized for certain activities, and will be less and less dependent on the physical shell.

The computer of the future is more of a means to view data and a set of technologies than a single brand or a metal box of microcircuits.

Compactness is a competitive advantage for equipment makers

Computers will most certainly be very different in 30-50 years from what is currently available on the market. This appears self-evident when you consider what technologies were available toward the end of the twentieth century, when even the word "personal computer" did not have the meaning it does now. Professional machinery, such as quantum computers, will progress in lockstep with consumer technology. These scientific equipment have remained big and costly.

The desire to minimize the size of the device and make it sharpened for the maximum number of tasks appears to be the major themes in the development of personal computers in the early 2020s. Apple, for example, is pursuing a productive tablet strategy. Like a result, the iPad Pro functions as a laptop without the use of a physical keyboard. At the same time, the device handles social media and movie viewing, as well as typing and even picture and video editing. Modern tablets, not just those produced in the United States, may be linked to peripherals such as a keyboard or printer. In this situation, the gadget becomes more useful and is able to take the role of a traditional computer.

Over time, computers will grow more flexible

Another goal of manufacturers is to become more versatile. Modern computers are becoming less and less associated with the terms "learning device" and "game machine." There are some unique gaming devices that stand out due to their unique design and colors. The distinction between gadgets may be totally eliminated in the future. It is reasonable to conclude, based on computer advertising, that focusing on a single mode of operation is not particularly profitable.

The confluence of the traditional desktop and smartphone is one of the characteristics of versatility. As with a phone that is always on, solutions are being created that allow you to open the gadget and start using it right away. You might recall Samsung's DeX platform, which lets you connect a smartphone to a display and use it as a full-fledged computer.

In the future, people's perceptions of computers will shift

Writers of science fiction and filmmakers of futuristic films are increasingly envisioning the computer as a distant artificial intelligence rather than a hardware with a display and keyboard. The necessity to manage the gadget with your hands is eliminated with the proper degree of AI, as seen in the film "Blade Runner 2049." A computer is a sophisticated set of instructions that may be found in any device. Information will be consumed through a three-dimensional projection or by speech. A virtual assistant, for example, will read the news and mail, remind you about business, and provide a thorough response to a question. If the user requires eye contact, such as engineers or designers, the picture can be projected in the air in front of them.

There are already virtual reality headsets on the market, such as Magic Leap, HoloLens, Vive, and Rift, that make it easier to transport the user to another world and ease interaction with things. "Expect lighter, cheaper, and more powerful VR and mixed reality headsets," stated reporters Rob Tabron and Julio Franco. With the aid of such gadgets, you will be able to immerse yourself in a specific environment: you will be able to drive a car as you normally would, create schemes with hand motions, and appear anywhere in the globe - the virtual experience will be as genuine as possible.

Remote work, virtual reality, and great autonomy are all features of the PC of the future

Streaming is one solution to the problem of computer power and the trade-off between performance and power usage. The device of the future, according to futurists, is one that is connected to a high-speed network. Tasks that need a lot of resources, such as arithmetic computations or current games, will be handled by a distant server. At actuality, the computer will be worked on by a supercomputer in a faraway data center. According to Jonathan Geller, editor-in-chief of the BGR portal, "the gadgets will become a'vessel' packed with technology." Wireless communication will be used to establish two-way communication between the server hardware and the "donor." At the same time, there are already functional instances, such as Google Stadia, a streaming gaming service.

So far, a poor Internet connection has prevented me from totally ditching physical disks and making computer completion as simple as possible. NVMe SSDs are used in modern PCs to provide high read and write performance. With the advancement of 5G and satellite Internet, network connectivity will be permanent, and cloud servers will be the primary method of data storage.

According to experts, the low level of autonomy is the hurdle in the implementation of every new technology in computers. Most modern laptops have a battery life of less than a day, leaving them extremely reliant on a permanent power source. Scientists think that supercapacitors, which will replace traditional batteries, will address the problem. Not only can such batteries last longer, but they also charge considerably faster. Scientists at Duke University believe that Super capacitors will become available in the next five years, revolutionizing the usage of any gadget that requires charging, from computers to electric cars.
