NEC Design, Ltd. in Tokyo offers a smorgasbord of new ideas, some of which will likely blow your mind. I am pretty certain that some have the potential to change the face of personal computing in the foreseeable future.
Pen-style Personal Computer
You might've got one of these "hard-to-believe" emails and wondered if this is true or is this a myth:
Look closely and guess what they could be... Are they pens with cameras? No, much better than that:
Can anyone say, "Good-bye laptops?"
A possible next step in personal computer technology, this is an experimental product called the P-ISM, described by NEC designers as a "Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package." (By the way, "pismo" means a written letter in Russian... are these Japanese scientists secretly studying Russian language?) A prototype of the system, which cost a reported $30,000 to build, was unveiled at ITU Telecom World in 2003.
The concept is outlined as follows on the NEC Design Web site:
"P-ISM is a "pen-computer" package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalist pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing."
Personally I think that the old laptop "screen and keyboard" technology will persist for a while (the way books have a staying power over the computer monitors). But then you have to admit, the pen and paper are the ultimate writing/reading symbols that we naturally accept. It's only a matter of time until someone develops a marketable and useful product... masquerading as "smart" pen and "smart" paper.
