True that the internet from the local to the global network has improved greatly in the way it works as it becomes part or forms the Internet. There are still many issues like reliability that continue to be tested each and everyday behind our backs as we click away on our keyboards and mice. Many network monitoring systems like the Global Emergency response centers in Singapore, who keep watch over the internet for new threats such as viruses and worms that can cause global chaos (well to the internet that is). These people employ the best in their fields, from programmers, system analysts, network specialists and technical advisers as they attempt to beat threats before they set the internet on fire so to speak. Previous attacks have left us with no internet service for days as worms flood web mail servers with excessive junk email which eventually slow and even shut down due to lacking disk space and bandwidth. These attacks have had new links formed in hopes of taking over failed links in the net so if they were to happen the internet would re-route itself to new connections as if there was nothing wrong. The problem is then localized and then finally neutralized which can leave damages in the millions of dollars in lost revenue for web based businesses.

Some have even removed optical drives that come as peripherals you plug into the side ports allowing you to use optical media but over all, they pack the punch of their heavier kin. Multimedia Laptops have always been heavy and bulky but that’s due to the huge batteries and added features such as memory card readers, and other stuff you don’t get on regular laptops such as interfaces for video and s-video. So, the next time you shop don’t trust the ad and try to see what you need and ask experts so you get the best gadget that can address your needs.

Then came the ever smaller handheld computers that ran stripped down versions of your Laptop OS and everything changed overnight, they took the stage and everyone wanted one. Out with the PDA and in with the Handheld. Then Intel announces a new line of low-power processors they called the Atom that was combined with Centrino technology that allowed your Ultra-portable to become as powerful as your computer yet lighter than your keyboard. Advances in memory technology has flash drives replacing hard disks further extending the amount of power available. It will only be time when the computing power of your handheld would be equal to your gaming PC just with a smaller screen (you can use those magnifying gadgets they used on GameBoy’s). Besides, Man went to the moon with less computing power than your washing machine! The sky’s the limit.

Many in the business community hail the Blackberry as the best merging of technologies that have allowed the combination of a PDA, Cellular phone and Web PC all bundled into one small black package. Well, they’re not all black; they come in different colors too. But the Blackberry has transformed the office allowing you to take your mailbox with you as long as there is a mobile signal.

What they are can be summed up in a few words, teeny tiny copper wires only atoms thick that may be used for Field-Emission Display’s which would not only revolutionize the digital display arena but will allow a more efficient form of display in terms of ultra thin Field Effect Displays. The material can be grown almost anywhere, silicon, glass, plastic and metal which means they are ideal for use on thinner displays. The material has been proposed as a way to fire electrons at phosphors such as the function of the electron gun in today’s CRT tube displays and TV’s. If they get to perfect the material, then it may signal the next step of display technology that use less electricity while giving vivid and unparalled display capabilities.

Brickhouse Security, a manufacturer of security cameras, systems, spy cameras and other similar devices have come up with a Cellphone backup gadget that allows a user to obtain information from a cell phone sim card (including deleted messages and numbers) by simply plugging it into your USB port. An article on CNN has shown the potential for disaster of the said device that can cause the copying of confidential and personal information along with all your messages and numbers that are stored into the SIM Module. Again, this gadget is being treated as spy ware by many for it can be used to obtain information without the user’s knowledge of it ever having occurred.

It is advertised as a tool but as you can see, the potential for disaster is real so keep your cell close.

These gadgets already have cousins in the market but the introduction of a smaller more powerful processor loaded with better power management and consumption would allow longer battery charges. Internet enabled devices are now entering the market as the online world expands into every aspect of daily life. These devices are void of hard disk storage and sometimes even the CD-DVD combo drives which are the main power guzzlers that consume the battery’s charge fast. Eliminating them and minimizing the use of motors within the device decreases immensely the need for big batteries and support systems such as power supply and management systems. Storage comes in the form of internal flash disks which allows the computer to function and expansion slots for memory upgrades are available. Additional storage requirements can be augmented with external flash disks.
