January 7, 2011 at 15:38Let's look into the future of IT for 500 years
Let's imagine that Nostradamus would predict for us in terms of IT, this is what came of it:
2020 - The limit on miniaturization of electronics has long been reached, processors have long had all thousands of nuclear, there are no moving parts, the computer does not make any noise, heat is passively removed through superconducting tubes.
Optics is suitable for every computer, you can download it on DVD per second, an ordinary residential building can be compared with a backbone provider. However, the channels are still loaded, all the same content, because video quality has also increased proportionally and weighs much more than before. All TV channels are broadcast over the network.
The battery capacity increased by 10 times, which made it possible to power the latest gadgets, although they do not need to pull the whole load themselves, cloud services have become so widespread thanks to the expansion of communication channels that you can remotely play the latest toy without worrying about buying the latest video card.
The number of new languages and libraries has grown so much that their instruction begins in kindergarten.
2050 - The experiments with the optical transistor have borne fruit, the new optical processor is now powered by a laser, although it still contains a slow 100Gb / s interface for communication with slow electronic devices.
The latest 1nm laser and fiber from modern materials allows you to combine optical processors into one large cluster and transmit data with virtually no delay. Powerful desktops with kilowatt power remain only for geeks. Now you can connect to a cluster from a simple device and perform calculations, the power of which is limited only by your wallet.
Finally, the volume of storage devices and the speed of calculations allows you to accurately recognize speech.
The developers of the programming languages finally came together, mainly thanks to the course of the new ruling party, all the achievements, crutches and libraries were destroyed (mainly due to the super-fast virus) and a new language appeared, so understandable and logical that already from the kindergarten, children could start programming their toys.
2100 - Mankind has survived several epidemics of viruses that completely drive crazy even modern opto-clusters, but the latest invention of the self-learning crystal processor architecture with heuristic optocoupler construction has solved the virus problem and now every home has its own data center.
Problems arose with data transfer, as optical communication channels could no longer transmit the entire memory dump needed for the processor to function. However, nanomatrixes made it possible to store a copy of the entire world computing cluster in each geographical city; exchange for synchronization was carried out via satellite communications through atmospheric lasers.
Communication devices contained essentially only a flexible display, charging, control was carried out completely remotely. The matrix can be deployed on the wall and a movie theater can be wrapped around itself and completely immersed in the gaming reality, and holographic projections began to replace partners in almost any activity.
The heuristic computer allowed finally to get rid of the framework of programming languages, now it is enough to say what you want.
2200 - The speed of light was never conquered, the limits of computation haunted people, and the invention of the bioprocessor pushed humanity a couple of orders of magnitude and allowed it to be implanted directly into the brain. Now the computer was powered directly from its owner and transmitted the results of the calculations directly to the brain. It was not even necessary to turn a blind eye, the image of virtual reality was superimposed on the present, thanks to the most accurate position sensors.
The need for numerous capricious I / O devices has disappeared. The entire data bank was also stored in the head using reserve neurons of the brain itself. The usual verbal means of communication of people began to die out as terribly slow. Only a few geek programmers dictated their programs in the old fashioned voice, although the transceiver of thoughtforms allowed downloading popular brain dumps of great people in seconds.
2500 - Having reached the limit of his brain and having exhausted all natural resources, mankind returned to the caves, the biocomputer was so related to the brain that it was inherited, and the lost instructions for its modification did not allow using it to its full capacity, and soon they forgot about it at all then a genius invented a wheel, attached it to a wheelbarrow, and now it was possible to transport much more roots at a time than dragging them with his hands ...
