Desktop computers

Very few computers will be on the desktop in 10 years. Today's workstation capacity will be in wristwatches, on the wall, off the wall, and so on.

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Who's going to stand next to a wall-mounted terminal and type multi-page documents, books, work on spreadsheets... :-?

Essentially, we're still using the typewriter format - output above the keyboard, sat at the desk. There's a reason why it's popular.

well, it's not totally crasy. even now there are cel phones in which you can give voice commands (mostly to call someone, of course) and record notes that you speak. it's fairly minor at the moment, but eventually, this technology will get more powerful.
although, for REAL serious work, I can't see not having some sort of work station. even if you speak instead of type. you have to be able to control the work environment. that will always be true.

Hello
The "Screen Saver" episode is broadcasted this week on TechTV Asia.
Morphos is mentioned on the last 10 minutes.
The episode will be repeated at least 10 times this week.
Several local TV also show the "Screen Saver" with subtitle.
Unfortunately they make a mistake: Morfos. :-)

Yup, Looks like that's what he mentioned. Question is, What did he say about it?

"Check out for this - the MorphOS. I'm comin' onto that one in the next...
It's in Europe, it's all over the place... M-O-R-P-H-O-S. It's a PowerPC-based platform, it's gonna be the next platform shift - that's my prediction."
