The Personal Computer You Wear On Your Wrist
In this society, the creation of the touch screen has revolutionized the technology we use today. In recent years, we’ve seen this innovation become a standard for electronic devices and machines we regularly use, which include ATM terminals, laptops, digital cameras and smartphones. Now touch screen technology could be the means to create another technological breakthrough. Some designers from India have recently used the touch screen to develop a new form of personal computer that you can actually wear on your wrist.
They call their concept the HOLO 2.0. This design concept is intended to become a new standard for mainstream computers. The HOLO 2.0 is designed to be worn comfortably on your wrist and its power source would be the actual movements of your arm. This wrist PC would also be equipped with a holographic display and have compatibility for connection to a home or office network. Then another feature on the HOLO 2.0 would give the user access to a much bigger holographic display.
The Indian design team hopes to release this new personal computer to the general consumer in 2015. Well, such a concept definitely seems to be inspired by technology of science fiction. If this design actually becomes a working product in the real world, we’ll be wearing our computers on our wrists in the next five years. However, that might not be such a good thing. These devices could be used by governments, other group entities and certain individuals to track our activities and gain access to our personal information. Decide for yourself, dear readers. Is it an exciting thought or a scary thought that technology has an increasingly dominant grip on our lives in human society?
