In ten years, and beyond..

I don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but the next couple of decades could dramatically change computing. I try to look forward to delving into these advances in future issues.

  • 2014 : Wireless chip integration onto the CPU die and advance coprocessing.
  • 2016 : Hybrid laptops with solar cells and lithium ion batteries.
  • 2018 : System cache size big enough to run operating systems.
  • 2022 : “Spintronics,” technology that changes the quantum spin of electrons. Some call this “Quantum Computing”.
  • 2027 : Holographic processing, with advanced projection technology, to allow users to do away with displays.

Card Reader

Lagi males nulis pake english nih, lagi pingin cerita pengalaman kemarin dan minta solusinya. Ceritanya, kemarin siang, setelah selesai motret-motret, saya kepikiran buat upload gambar dengan cara memasukkan memory melalui card reader yang ada di notebook saya. sebelumnya, saya selalu menggunakan kabel USB yang langsung dihubungkan ke camera. Pada waktu itu saya menggunakan Windows Vista Home Premium karena di ubuntu card reader saya tidak terdeteksi. Ketika saya memasukkan memory (Stick Duo pake’ sambungannya) terasa sangat berat, tapi saya coba tekan hingga akhirnya masuk ke card reader. Kemudian, Windows pun mendeteksi (Muncul tulisan “Found New Hardware”), tetapi, setelah 2 detik, tiba-tiba notebook saya mati dan card reader mulai mengeluarkan asap dan bau gosong, langsung saja, saya tarik memorynya dan ternyata gosong di bagian sambungannya. Setelah memorynya saya ambil dari sambungannya, Alhamdulillah, memorynya masih terdeteksi di camera digital saya, dan laptop saya masih bisa menyala seperti biasa walaupun masih bau gosong. Sampai hari ini saya masih belum mencoba memasukkan memory lain (karena cuma punya satu).

Saya ingin minta pendapat dari teman-teman semua, kira-kira kenapa hal itu bisa terjadi ? dan yang rusak memorynya atau card reader di notebook ?.

Alhamdulillah…
