The future of technology is endless and computers will only get better. Currently there are technically advanced developments in the field of computer hardware, computer software and even the Internet. Here are some new developments in computer technology: Holographic Storage Technologies: The theory of holography was developed by Dennis Gabor, a Hungarian physicist, in the year 1947 and was originally intended to increase the resolving power of electron microscopes. In the 1960s two engineers from the University of Michigan developed a new device which produced a three dimensional image of an object. Today, we can see holograms, or 3D images, on credit cards, magazine covers and in art galleries. Right now, tests are being done on creating a commercially viable holographic storage system .This technology could access that data at very high rates, due to the fact that holographic methods read an entire page of data in one operation. Protonic Memory: One of the minor horrors of the computer age is to be working on a document not yet saved to the hard drive and lose everything because of a power outage or a system crash that forces the operator to shut down the computer. Attempts to create circuits that store the information when the power is interrupted have used high voltages, which quickly wear down computer electronic components, and have been expensive. Now scientists have applied for a patent on a prototype memory retention device that is inexpensive, low-powered, and simple to fabricate that may be the future of protecting vital data when suddenly lost without being saved. To transmit data, the device uses embedded protons, which remain where they are when the power turns off, thus preserving the information. Nano Computers: According to a group of researchers calling themselves the Nanocomputer Dream Team, November 1st, 2011 is the day they'll unveil a revolutionary kind of computer, the most powerful ever seen. Their nanocomputer will be made out of atoms. Moving individual atoms around at will sounds like fantasy, but it's already been demonstrated in the lab. In 1989, scientists at IBM used an electron microscope to shuffle 35 xenon atoms into the shape of their company's logo. Future User Interfaces Several new user interface technologies and interaction principles seem to define a new generation of user interfaces. Many of these next generation interfaces will not have the user control the computer through commands, but will have the computer adapt the dialogue to the user's needs based on its inferences from observing the user. Most current user interfaces are fairly similar and belong to one of two common types: Either the traditional alphanumeric full screen terminals with a keyboard and function keys, or the more modern WIMP workstations with windows, icons, menus, and a pointing device. An alternative model is emerging in object-oriented operating systems where the basic object of interest is the user's document. The system will take care of activating the appropriate code to display, print, edit, or email these data types as required. DataHiding A major concern for creators of digital content, whether it's Web content, music, or movies on digital disc, is to protect their work from unauthorised copying and distribution. DataHiding is a technology that allows owners of content to embed data invisibly or inaudibly into other digital media. It is embedded directly into the digital media itself and gives content creators a powerful means of marking their digital creations. The embedded information does not change the size of the original data, and it survives normal image processes such as compression and format transformation.
