Whats the next cool invention?
I came across this link from another forum, http://www.alpern.org/weblog/stories/20 ... oards.html, and I seriously am just blown away by Projection Keyboards. How cool is that? I wouldn't mind having one of those built into a laptop, atleast it would keep crumbs from falling between the keys
Aparantly this technology can also be used as a virtual mouse

I saw these on Tomorrows World (BBC program) 5 or 6 years ago.Jcart wrote:...blown away by Projection Keyboards.
personally I'm looking forward to when solid state drives become mainstream which a few companies are pushing it seems, watched a video of one of them the other day takes like 12 secs to shutdown and reboot the machine from in game in bf2, those new physics chip cards look damn awesome too
apart from that I live for the day they invent self cleaning clothes using nanotech (I hate wash day) and of course star trek style replicators and transporters, lol

100% couldn't agree more. It's like lets goto the bar but then its like oh man thats like freakin far away...BUT! If you had a teleporter you could just be like BAM beers all around. Then when it was time to go home you could just teleport back to your nice comfy bed instead of stubmling home and getting robbed and hit by cars and arrested like it is now. Thats why we need teleporters!phpdevuk wrote:I live for the day they invent self cleaning clothes using nanotech (I hate wash day) and of course star trek style replicators and transporters
For the washing clothes stuff, that pile of dirty clothes in the corner is starting to smell but I am waiting for the teleporter to be invented so I don't have to make that long trip to the laundrymat but even then it is a bit of a hassle to actually teleport there and back. The self washing clothes would be the best by far.
