Convergence

So the big tech news is that the folks who got an iPhone will get a free case. I wonder if Best Buy will give me a refund on the case I bought with the phone? That would be nice. Now I have never experienced this whole call drop issue because I got a case when I got the phone. I am still saying this is the best phone I have ever had. The fact that I can control the house, watch movies and do so many things with it makes me know that it is the apps that make this the best.

So the other day as I was installing an English sounding voice for my house I was wondering where all this technology is headed. I figure there is going to be super device come out that's even better than the iPhone. We all can see it, it is just going to take probably 10 years for the super device to come out, but it will. It will have 2 way voice, 2 way camera, 2 way video, 2 way audio, Text to Speech and Speech to Text. It will be able to wirelessly connect to everything - macs, pcs, refrigerators, people via wifi/phone plans and will be able to broadcast facetime to anywhere on the planet. It will have access to all tv stations, movies and photos not only by the cloud but by terrabytes of space that come with it. It will have a GPS locator and will be able to connect to home appliances and a home brain. It will be cheap enough to mount and unmount in every single room and will act as an intercom system connected to all of the super devices in the home. It will act as a home control system, audio and video player, and internet surfing device. It will be able to run apps from all OSs - Android, Appstore, and Windows. This will be the ultimate device.

See, all of this is possible right now. It will just cost alot and there is no company out there that makes it completely. It is all about convergence. That is where it is headed. Maybe I should patent such a device and build it. Eh, I bet it is already in the works by someone. Technology is progressing at a rapid rate. Too bad it is my generation that is doing most of it. I say this because it appears the older generations are not keeping up and the newer generations do not want to learn the basics of how things work. There is a gap. But I bet it will be filled eventually. Maybe... More tests...
