The Future of Computers


The future

Deep blue and Garry Kasparov Deep Blue, the screen of which is seen here as the computer plays chess against Kasparov in 1997, is an IBM supercomputer that uses scalable parallel processing to solve complex problems. Deep Blue uses 256 processors working together to calculate between 50 and 100 billion chess moves in under three minutes. Real world applications of computers like Deep Blue include forecasting the weather and all.

In around 1960s, semiconductor pioneer Gordon predicted that the number of transistors contained on a computer chip would double every year!!

Computers will become more advance and they will also become easier to use. Improved speech recognization will make the operation of a computer easier.virtual reality, along with technlogy of having human senses, will also contribute to better computer user interface.

Microminiaturization. This integrated circuit, an F-100 microprocessor, is only 0.6 cm and is samll enough to pass through the eye of a needle

Communicatiobns between comouters users and networks will benifit from new technologies such as broadband communication systems that can carry significantly more data faster or more conveniently to and from the vast interconnected databases that continue to grow in number and type

Quantum computers may one day be thousands to millions of times faster than current computers.
