When Devices Won't Matter

From Yahoo News / Digital Trends

If you want to be able to LOOK at something -- and not notice the device that produces what you're looking at --- you need a tiny projector with infinite focus.  

There isn't any other way.

If you're an investor --- holding stock in the company with the best tiny projectors and the only ones with infinite focus -- that's where you want to be. If that same company also has the best 3D scanning technology... that's even better.

With 5G ultra high speed connectivity coming -- most of the processing power that we'd want to use may be elsewhere.


"In the foreseeable future, we likely won’t even notice our devices. That’s the vision Google CEO Sundar Pichai cast in the search giant’s annual shareholder letter."

Today we still think of devices first. Most of use smartphones and some use tablets. We are certainly aware of our desktop and laptop computers. But imagine if all those devices disappeared. Not that computers and the devices are really going away, but we won’t be as aware of them. As we speak, move, gesture, look, and — at some time not so far off — even think, the world of future computers will work with us.

As Google’s Pichai states the shift, “Looking to the future, the next big step will be for the very concept of the ‘device’ to fade away.” And Google is not alone, but joined in readying for the transition from device-centrism to AI by virtually every major player in what is still somewhat quaintly referred to as the “computer business.” Facebook’s smart assistant “M,” Microsoft’s renewed focus on AI, and Amazon’s home hub manager, Alexa, are examples cited in USA Today’s coverage of the Google CEO’s message.
