A very exciting future is around the corner for computing. Check out the latest in small computers.The design concept uses five different pens to make a computer. One pen is a CPU, one a camera, another creates a virtual keyboard, and yet another projects the visual output and thus the display. One more pen is a phone. All five pens can rest in a holding block which recharges the batteries and holds the mass storage. Each pen communicates wirelessly. But this is a conceptual prototype, meaning it does not exist in real form……..yet. The technology already exists for the keyboard and projector.
The prototype was designed by Toru Ichihash of Japan and introduced in 2003 at the ITU World Telecom Exhibition in Tokyo. It was described as a Pen-Style Personal Networking Gadget Package or P-ISM. Can you guess who Ichihash’s inspiration was? Why James Bond of course!
