Justin Rattner published an article in the recent at Research @ Intel blog, commemorating the Intel co-founder Robert Noyce invented the 50th anniversary of integrated circuits, and to explore the future that the technology innovation will make the future world and human life changing.

The ultimate goal of green computing

As the progress of Energy optimization technology, will allow Intel to find and use the new power mode for consumer electronic devices, so that they do not need to get power supply from the grid.This represents the ultimate goal of green computing. Imagine, these devices will be obtained from their own environment "free energy"!

Face Recognition Technology

A better life, work and entertainment.

As the progress of the multi-core computing and sensor technology by using Intel, the future of the computer may be able to identify people's faces, buildings and other objects. Your TV remote will know who is holding it, and can be automatically selected according to their preferred programs. As the future of Intel's processor chips will develop from the integration of several cores to many cores.

Provides film-quality effects of visual for users , like 3D.

Intelligent micro-robot

To imagine that home robot not only can clean the house by using the vacuum cleaner or please you by imitating the Dinosaur in the future, but also wash bowl with dishwasher or fold socks.The most important thing is that they might be able to study movement and use arbitrary objects, feel and identify the moving of the surrounding objects by oneself, and learn to adapt to the new environment.

There will be some micro-robot can not be seen by people with the naked eye in the future. To imagine that hundreds of millions micro-robot named "Catom" can be assembled into any shape of object, and self-move, change color and shape! They can be made into a Pocket PC in your pocket and folded into a tiny the shape, also can allow himself to re-shape to help you call and send messages. They can become bigger and more smooth, and change out the keyboard and large screen displays to allow you to use when you want to browse the Internet.

Wireless

All the wireless technology: traveling with less luggage, Imaging the living. Ubiquitous wireless technology in the future allows you to enjoy the experience by using the small personal devices, the same as originally in large devices. Your mobilephone or mobile Internet devices (MID) will automatically search and connect to a nearby display, then compute and store data. Video content will transfer to the car's display or flat-panel displays at home from your handheld device.

Internet computing to improve health care

To imagine that, there are hundreds of battery-powered micro-computer at home.They form a sensor network, and they are responsible for collecting health data and send it to your designated place for processing and further analysis! Using this data collection and processing methods, the old people could stay at home without having to run around in the medical institutions, so the quality of life is improved. These data also can help prevent and detect early disease, so it can achieve the improvement of health care, reduce health care costs and ease the burden on their families and other nurses.
