2009 about Technology
Since
their debut, Google Glass has not had much of a very good welcome by the
public, mainly because they don’t look like something the everyday persons
would like to seen in public wearing. After all, the product is still in its
explorer stage, with its intrepid users being call as such – Explorers.
Granted
Google Glass was recently the toast of beauty magazine cover of Vogue in August
2013 as stated in the article “Google
Glass gets a spread in Vogue magazine”, published August 16,
2013 9:49 AM PDT by Eric Mack, CNET News, but that’s upmarket; I’m talking the regular guy who currently totes a
smartphone or a Tablet. Google Glass in its current incarnation doesn’t appeal
to them as yet – until now, as Google’s showing signs of the Eye of the Tiger Katy Perry Roar Style!
She
may also be secretly developing a new form of Whitening Technology for teeth
that requires no toothpaste to cure Dental Caries among Googlers. Google
Engineers, it seems, apparently may be eating too much Candy while pulling late-late
all nighters Coding. Preferably something Natural (blue mark toothpaste) and
chewy, like KitKats and not artificial (Red and Black mark Toothpaste)!

It’s
still my prediction that Google Glass will replace smartphones and Tablets as
can be seen from the sudden crush of competitors coming out of the woodwork as
stated in the article “A
LOOK AT ALL THE GOOGLE GLASS COMPETITORS IN DEVELOPMENT”,
published August 22, 2013 By Simon Hill, Digital Trends
and “Smartwatches
are going to make smartphone screens obsolete”, published September 7, 2013
By Rob Enderle, DigitalTrends.
Google Glass Cometh - What
will be the signs of this coming trend?
We
are currently in a Post-PC Era, as first enunciated by former Apple CEO Steve
Jobs in 2010 at the launch of the Apple iPad in 2010 as stated in my blog article
entitled
“Apple
iPad in the Summer of 2010 - The Death of the Video Game Consoles”. The Apple
iPad and her Tablet Children from Google Android are now killing off Printers,
Video Game Consoles and even the humble Mouse as concluded in my Geezam blog article entitled “How
the Apple iPad killed Ultrabooks, Printing and the Mouse as the World
Rediscovers Tablets”.
Since
then PC Sales have been falling like Humpty Dumpty Sales as stated in “PCs
suffer longest sales decline in history”, published 11:50PM
BST 10 Jul 2013 by Andrew Trotman, The
UK Telegraph and “The
PC fights back: U.S. sales decline is slowing”, published Jul
15, 2013 3:00 AM by Brad Chacos, PCWorld.
Thus
the task for PC Manufacturers to put the pieces back again in their once
thriving Industry come down to introducing some new Technology that will woo
them back to PC’s and Laptops. That comes down to new Hardware, as Software has
reached its zenith and requires new Hardware to enhance its reach, ability and
interaction with Humans in Natural Language.
Most
of this hardware I’ve hinted at in my blog article
entitled
“Leap
Motion Controller went live on Monday July 22 2013 - How a Theremin Computer
Device revives PC sales as Everything is Possible to be controlled by Voice and
Motion”:
1. 3D
Motion Capture Technology e.g. Microsoft Kinect for Video Gaming and Leap
Motion Controller for PC’s and Laptops and all those modeled after her kind
2. Voice
Commands e.g. Apple’s Siri and all those modeled after her kind
3. Mind
Control Devices e.g. IndieGogo funded Interaxion and their US$199 Muse Mind
Controller as described in my blog article entitled “Interaxion
debut US$199 Muse Mind Controller at Le Web in France - Future Silver Lining
Playbook for Gaming that'll Exercise the Windmills of Your Mind”
and all those modeled after her kind
When
these technologies are perfected and licensed to be used in PC’s, this’ll mark
the development of the first Theremin Computer as predicted in my blog article
entitled
“Leap
Motion Controller went live on Monday July 22 2013 - How a Theremin Computer
Device revives PC sales as Everything is Possible to be controlled by Voice and
Motion”.
Portable PC and Game
Consoles – Trend towards Cloud Computing
Already
there is a trending towards such Portable computers that are BYOMKD (Bring your
Own Mouse Keyboard and Display) as Dell, in the midst of its takeover battle,
had unveiled its Project Ophelia, a portable Cloud Computer at CES 2013 as
described in my blog article
entitled
“Dell's
Project Ophelia debuts at CES 2013 - Cloud Computing is the Bling Ring of Power
to kick Dell into the Portable Computing Game”.
Similarly
in the Computer Gaming World is also going through a Portable Revolution with
the Crowdfunded Boxer8's Ouya Gaming Console and
PlayJam's Gamestick Consoles as described in my blog article
entitled “Google Android powers Boxer8's Ouya, PlayJam's GameStick and
Nvidia's Project Shield - Stand Up Guys are making Open Source and Open
Architecture a $ellebrity”.
Now Google and even Amazon are rumoured to be interested in
seeking success in Console Gaming by making their own Gaming Consoles, a move
that parallels their forays in the Tablet and smartphone World as stated in “Google said to be creating game Console and smartwatch”, published June 27, 2013 3:45 PM PDT by Dara Kerr, CNET News and “Amazon may be revving up its own Android game Console”, published August 9, 2013 5:27 AM PDT by Lance Whitney, CNET News.
As was the case with 7” Amazon Kindle Fire and apparently the
sudden proliferation of budget smartphones in Developing World Countries such
as the Samsung Galaxy Y and the Samsung Galaxy Duos, Apple may be left with no
choice but to make a Video Game Console as well. This time, their Video Game
Console will be a product made from an existing product, the Apple iTV.
This Apple Video Game Console, which I’d like to call the
Apple GameBox, will be twinned with their Apple Television Set that’s coming
out in 2014, making it an irresistible offer for consumers as predicted in my blog article
entitled
“Apple
to launch TV and a Cloud Gaming Console in 2014 - How the Apple iTV and
Television Set can kill The Grandmaster in the guise of Nintendo, Sony and
Microsoft”.
Google Glass and
Smartwatches kill smartphones – Battery Struggles et al
At
that point, possibly occurring sometime in 2014, these same technologies to be
used to revive the PC and Video Game Console World, once miniaturized enough,
will end up in Google Glass and Smartwatches. This includes the Samsung Galaxy
Gear, which recently launched what I hope is just a prototype that they’ll
adjust as described in my blog article
entitled
“Samsung
Galaxy Gear Launches Wednesday September 4th 2013 - Smartwatches specs need
sub-US$199 and Stellar Battery Life to make a Getaway”.
The
above mentioned Technologies are of no benefit to smartphones and Tablets, as
you can already touch and swipe, a Natural Human Interaction. Even if
smartphones and Tablets get the above, it’d be little used, as the main rant of
smartphone users is not a lack or want for more gimmicky feature they’ll never
use, but rather:
1. Better
Battery Life
2. Lower
Prices of unlocked devices
3. Dual-SIM
Phones and Tablets as predicted in my Geezam
blog
article entitled “Trend
towards Dual-SIM Smartphones developing in Jamaica as MNP Approaches”
4. More
Customization options similar to those being rolled out for the Moto X smartphone
as described in my blog article
entitled
“Google
and Motorola Mobility launch the customizable Motorola Moto X - Motorola Moto X is The Wolverine of
Customization that’s Made in America”
5. Better
resistance to falls, be it Airbags as described in my blog article
entitled
“Amazon
patents Fall Prevention Technology for smartphones and Tablets - The Research
begins with Amazon’s patent that’s Hyde Park on Hudson (2013)”
6. Better
crack resistant Screens such as the use of Sapphire Screens as described in my blog article
entitled
“Sapphire
Screens for smartphones by Q1 2014 - Unscratchable Sign of Virgo is the Man of
Steel to revive Jamaican Alumina Industry”
7. Faster
Optical Processors as had been predicted in my blog
article entitled “IBM
develops 25Gbps Photonic Optical Processor at the 90nm level - IBM's Red Dawn
(2012) for Optical Processors”
8. SSD
(Solid State Drives) with storage above 64 GB and Processors to make a Tablet
works as a Laptop with an attachable Keyboard Case
Thus
it’s clear. Once 3D Motion Capture Technology, Voice Commands and Mind Control
Devices rescue the PC and Video Game World, it’ll make the designers of the
Google Glass and smartwatches realize that with the right miniaturized
components, their product can be made to look like ordinary Glasses and
Wristwatches and thus usher in the much vaulted Wearable Computing Revolution.
At
that point, Wearable computers such as Smartwatches and Google Glass will make
smartphones and Tablets obsolete by late 2015 as predicted in the article “Smartwatches
are going to make smartphone screens obsolete”, published September 7, 2013
By Rob Enderle, DigitalTrends.
A
World of Augmented Reality Games, Voice Commands and Air Gestures await us as prognosticated in my Geezam blog article entitled “Siri and Kinect: Heralds of a coming world free of Remote
Controls”, where interacting with Google
Glass and Smartwatches will be more like talking to a person, which is Smart +
Sexy = Smexy Katy Perry
Roar!
