In future, the computers might look like insects and that too alien
Lotus
computer concept by Sophia Yung is the design for our next generation.
As you can see, it is no longer a square box, but looks like a lotus
plant. But, the moment I saw it, the only thing that I could see was
some insects from the other planet with one eye. Ok, it could look like
anything in this world, but the best part about this computer design is
that it has been integrated with one of the five human senses .i.e.
olfaction. It combines smell spray, artificial intelligence and video
and keypad projector into it, which helps to establish visual and

EU smart home concept
Smart-home”
technology that allows people to control household appliances via their
mobile phone or other gadgets is being shown off in Germany.
Funded by EU, the i2 home project is especially aimed at giving
independence and control to the older and the disabled people.
Middleware is the technology that has been used to control heating and
all the other stuff like
air conditioners to be controlled by any gadget
or interface that you choose. This new technology is the result of
combined efforts of EU industry, user groups and the universities. And,
the hard work seems to have paid off well. This particular platform
requires all the appliances to be networked together and the so called
middleware sits between the home appliances and a controlling device,
which can be anything like a mobile phone, allowing them to communicate.
Various control interfaces have also been created by i2home project.
The research which was carried in collaboration with various groups like
Alzheimer’s patients, blind and partially sighted people, so that
technology could be matched to their needs has finally come to an end.
But, the project team and some users are still evaluating it with the
help of demonstration of technology in German town of Saarbrücken, as it
has been mocked up in a kitchen here.
“Finally, something that works,” said Ginger Classen, a blind,
German accessibility expert. “If this technology is adopted by many
manufacturers, I could finally go appliance shopping like sighted people
in a normal store, having the choice to buy cool and stylish products.”
