In the 23rd century universe of "Star Trek,'' people talked to each other using wireless personal communicators, had easy access to a vast database of information and spent hours gazing at a big wall-mounted video screen.
On 21st century Earth, that future is already here.
Indeed, 40 years after "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry outlined his vision for the groundbreaking science-fiction TV series, some of the once-futuristic personal technology depicted in the voyages of the starship Enterprise have become a reality.
Moreover, "Star Trek" has influenced a generation of engineers and scientists, inspiring them to engage in the future they saw on TV and to "make it so."
Today, the Internet links personal computers in homes, schools and businesses. And computer technology is incorporated into every modern convenience, from automobiles to watches.
Techzoogle is a new site tailored to the latest technology, trends, gadgets, computer and software.
On the first page you find a detail explanation about The OQO Model 02: The World Smallest Windows Vista capable PC
The OQO model 2 is the world’s smallest ‘real’ portable computer.
While it has a keyboard, which is more like a glorified 'thumb board', it also has an active digitizer, so it's compatible with both the older Windows XP Tablet PC edition, and the extensive handwriting/Tablet features that are just built-in to Windows Vista.
So to enter data, you could easily write emails and see them incredibly accurately turned into text. Given that Vista has built-in voice recognition technology that is also surprisingly good, you should also be able to just dictate as well, providing you’re in the right environment.
And it weighs only a pound!Ic can easily fit into a pocket.
That will be the real "pocket PC".
On the right side you can browse by category all the latest technology .
Whether it was because they were inspired by the show or because "Star Trek" writers often based science fiction on science fact, today's popular personal technology gadgets resemble or have similar functions to the show's nonworking props.
