The Future of Computing- Innovations in Laptop

Our future is innovative with respect to everything. Think back to the laptop you had in 2008. It probably doesn't look too different from what you're using today. Sure, your current notebook is lighter than the brick you lugged around five years ago, and it's running Mountain Lion or Windows 8 rather than Vista or Leopard, but it's still a clamshell laptop with the same basic functionality. The Future of computing would be radically different.

The Future-

Manufacturers are shaping the future PCs around emerging trends. For instance, mobiles are moving to become thinner. Notebooks will also benefit from perceptual computing breakthroughs that will push eye control to the mainstream. Imagine looking at an app to open it. Yes, that would be implemented in the future computing.

1. Gesture Control- When Windows 8 made its debut in 2012, touch-screen displays quickly became standard for premium notebooks. According to IHS, nearly a quarter of all laptops will have touch screens by 2016, thanks to falling prices. But touch enabled display were just the starting. Gesture control has a far long journey to cover. In the future, using your eyes to play games in the laptop would prominently be the mainstream ways to interact.
2. Prolong Battery Life- Just about every day, we use our smartphones to surf the Web, send text messages and play games — only to plug them in again before we go to bed. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different for laptops, with many models in our tests lasting less than 5 hours on a charge. But all-day battery life could become a reality in the future. In the near future, you will be dealing with the laptops having a very strong battery backup that could survive the whole day long.
3. The Mouse Disappears- Between touchscreens, touchpads and the occasional stylus, today's devices come with enough modalities to diminish the need for a mouse. As these technologies and perceptual computing continue to evolve, the mouse will become less relevant.

The PC’s ground is changing rapidly. The future laptop will be thin and narrower in all dimensions. It would come with far better processors, better wireless connectivity and much lighter weight. Five years later, your traditional notebook will come along with better touch screen with more precision than today’s notebooks. You'll be able to play games and interact with certain applications by simply looking at them. Your PC will rely on sensors to perceive your gestures and determine your location, and all-day battery life will be the new standard. And the advent of wearable technology and perceptual computing will influence the way we interact with computers as a whole.
