What Would a Computer-Free Future Look Like?

If computers vanished today, the world would be forced into a dramatic reset. Within the first  5 years , global systems—banking, aviation, logistics, and power—would collapse before slowly rebuilding around paper records, mechanical tools, and local communities. Daily life would feel like a modernized 1950s. By  10 years , industries adapt with analog engineering. Factories, transportation, and trade resume on slower but stable systems. Radio, print, and mechanical devices dominate communication and media. After  15 years , humanity innovates within its limitations, developing advanced analog machines, fluidic logic, and non-digital automation. Society becomes less globalized but more resilient. By  20 years , a new equilibrium emerges: a sophisticated but fully analog world. Transportation thrives, medicine advances through non-digital technology, and craftsmanship flourishes. Life is slower, more tactile, and built on mechanical ingenuity—a retrofuturistic civiliz...

AI and the Microsoft Edge browser

Everyone has either tried or heard of Gen AI by now and many users are obtaining splendid results. My vision of the edge browser for business is custom designed extensions using Gen AI intermingled with other assets. The developer can also connect to a cloud database storage to augment the functionality of the Edge extension. The secret sauce of Edge extensions is Cloud storage/DB, Gen AI integration and Glass-like GUI

Integrating humanoids into society

Although the tech industry has produced a number of different humanoid robots powered by AI we do not see them intermingled with humans in society yet. I think that users would enjoy robotic servants and helpers/assistants and we are now nearing a time when this is really viable. One American idea that I like is using a barriered off controlled space in public to exhibit the humanoids allowing the public to come and observe the humanoids until they are ready to buy them for their own applications. 

Build in a quantum simulator into the OS to run on classic hardware architecture and sell as a Quantum Computer

I like the idea of exploiting the Qubit in Quantum Computing as a software developer, the increased number of potential states appeals to me, however I am aware that creating a stable Quantum hardware is non-trivial and a difficult thing currently.     What to do, what to do, I thought that embedding a very stable quantum simulator into a personal computer operating system would provide a good user experience for those wanting a quantum computer now.

This offer ‘Goes away’ after a certain date

  This offer ‘Goes away’ after a certain date I like the psychology of goes away, it seems to me that users have become very dependent on internet services so it might be time for stuff to go away, like time limited offers, deadlines on discounts etc.

Smartphone Tapps a NEW name for mobile apps.

A product or object has a newness associated with it; software is the same it has newness and oldness qualities. The mobile phone app has been around for a long time, whilst it still has some relevance it feels old and worn as an object in software. Thanks to the use of generative AI a new name is available, the smartphone Tapp. Tapps are like apps, except they probably launch quicker, do more stuff and might use AI. You open a Tapp or launch it.
