When the Robots Win ...

I have some theoretical technology for you today. Ever heard of nanobots? little tiny robots, literally the size of molecules. They would allow us to make controllable substances. Press a button and the liquid becomes a solid. So what do you do when you can control a machine on the molecular level? If your Nokia you make a phone out of it.


Phone in the loosest terms possible, of course, it's more of a computer than anything. Macintosh no longer has the intuitive control market cornered. This thing (theoretically) goes beyond context sensitive menu to context sensitive machine. It can literally change its physical shape based on its function. When in phone mode it can be collapsed to wrap around your wrist, with an ear piece for the interface. In e-mail mode it can expand into a full keyboard.

Now I know what you're thinking "Thats amazing Doc, but it's just a picture of a green phone" well you're right, or were right. VIDEO!



Just imagine the potential of this technology, its impact on design. Imagine being able to control every aspect of an interface, limitless design.
