Description
Summary:Future: Timisoara, year 2020After a hard day of work, on my way home, I tell to myself as well as to the “Multiplex”: HOME. The Multiplex knows what needs to be done and I know exactly what I am going to find home because I was the one who made the settings remotely. This gadget will replace soon all the many devices I carry with me. It will be phone and remote control, PC as well as TV using all communication and information media in one. I see a few friends and the family in a videoconference using the Multiplex. My GPS controlled automobile knows the way home and while I drive, I can watch the virtual screen projected in a corner of the windshield. When I arrive home, I give an one word command to the Multiplex: NEWS and all the desired news channels are projected on a virtual screen in any place in the house I want. I can intervene in a live-transmission if I like to do so and say my opinion. If I prefer to read and write, my Multiplex will project a virtual keyboard for my use. If I want to dictate, my Multiplex can write what I speak.
