Here something very different from all remain articles !

Have you ever  thought  on crazy tech ideas  , mostly science fiction with products that cant be ever made? (who knows some o them later can be made! )

Being a fan of high technology frm my young times  I hve devised several interesting ideas , some of then have already be made several others not ! I summarize some  of them below .
Also please  feel free  to post in comments  and ideas that  have passed though your mind !


At first are the ideas  already made
1.a very long play audio tape recorder  .(idea of 80s )
A  standard cassette recorder to record  at least 2 times the  standard cassette time , so a 1 hr cassette could be recorded /played to 3-4 hours . 

As it happens with the  VCRs and the journalist recorders . Very good for recording from shortwave or very lengthy discussions / seminars . 

As far as I know , on late 70s or early 80s  several commercial , possibly tinkered (=hacked )  cassette recorders, were sold in USA , using a variable resistor  to slow down the speed  motor with up to 3 times the standard time

2. a world radio with  built in mp3 recorder (an idea  on 2000 ).
Very easy with the today’s technology . Only one model has been  found from China but  operation is very complicated …(the start idea was with the Degen 1126 with 4 GB )

There were also several radio  tech ideas , but I will not post them!

Here is an idea  partially feasible :

3. Post Card sized  movie player(idea around  90 ).
A standard post/photo card  (10x15 cm or 13x18 cm and same thickness )    with touch screen for standard VCR /DVD features (palyback , FF RW ) Sounds to pretty good?
Well as far as I know OLEDs displays comply with the dimensions , though I wonder if they can operate in touch screen

Under this category  we can see today the following gadgets : e reader, IPOD , IPAD 

 
Now  I go into the real science fiction ideas , I doubt  if  one of them can be made in reality !!

4. Full entertainment neural ‘wrist watches’. (ard 2002 ). The idea  is a little complex: Imagine you are  in a place that you do not want to  show that you are listening to the  music, i.e. without earphone .Your ‘wrist watch’ by some way, supposedly  tune into the body’s nerve syetem and offers you music and video and very good quality indirectly into your brain

I  hope you understand what I mean  with this …..

5.  ‘3D printout’  on plain  paper ( 1992 ):  that  does not require any lenses  to be seen . A very different way that the previous xography  or 3d stereo  . No more idea still  …..

And here several other ideas in just headlines  - no analysis needed …..
6  a kind of  ‘laser’  type  beams’  producing  sound . two beams that in their joint produce audio
7. thumb communication with computer  , instead  of using keyboard. Just think o thumb to convey your thoughts directly to the computer and the program to trranscibe them
8. open air 3D computer display  and /or 3D video (without any display but in contrast  to the ‘Starwars movie idea’  the picture could be at least  1 m3  and with vivid or real colour , for the video  case  )


Have you ever thought any  ideas  less or more extreme  than this? If yes  please write them below  .

Just notice:
Arthur Clark  devised the idea  for satellites  on 1940+ using the  geostationary orbit . From 80s and then the s
A Greek monk Kosmas Aitolian on 1800 has just devised  two big ideas of 1900 : the airplane (named them as metallic birds )and trhe television (a big eye  with horns on the roof over the houses ) Nobody could understand that time  what he meant ….. K

Keep yourself  tuned in for  my next posting will be even more extreme than this  and can  sound quite insane and surely 1000%  unfeasible . I will write this because this could really  have many applications
