Aka any movie computer inferface you've seen with huge text, different colors, and random information sprawled all over. It'd be cool to have a black background interface, orange or green text, and a totally new inferface. (No start menu, icons, etc.) Just up and down keys to grab programs, etc.

 
I sure hope not, most of the interfaces in movies are crap that seem to only let you do one thing at a time.
 
I want to be able to keep it in my pocket, like the cellphone.

If I want to use it, I want a holographic keyboard, or a voice recognition software to interpret commands. Possibly thought recognition.

The screen would have to be holographic, too. Nothing material, besides the CPU in my pocket.

😉
 
Those are just mockups of the old DOS computers that everybody had years ago. There's nothing great about them. Everything was a pita, and you had the incredible color choices of green phospher, and amber as your color choices when you bought your monitor.

Nano tech.
Everyone wirelessly connected in an orgy of interconnectivity:evil:
Oh! Wait! that's the Matrix:shocked:

I first tried voice recognition using a hardware-based card in an Apple 2. Probably around 1984. There were some very obvious issues (such as ambient noise and bothering others nearby with your talking). I'm beginning to wonder if speech interfaces for computers are EVER going to be practical for general use.
