> Mobile Technology - What's Buffstream the Hold Up

> Key: CRAIL-114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRAIL-114
> Project: Apache Crail
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gay Kirk
> Priority: Major
>
> Not long ago, a tech savvy reader noted an essay I'd written on mobile smart
> phone technology and how far we'd come since the first cell phones had been
> introduced. Specifically they'd asked why I didn't mention "Maxwell Smart and
> his battles with Chaos" and how his shoe phone got him out of quite a few
> difficult situations. After all, most of our technology in the mobile smart
> phone space really was just science fiction back in the 60s and 70s. Okay so,
> let's talk.
> Now then, I'd say that imagination in future concepts is the key. Science
> Fiction today is tomorrow's reality, right? One thing I've always noted is
> the difference between the pre-Internet, fax machine, and cell phone days and
> today, especially when it comes to business applications. You see, I believe
> that there is a fundamental understanding that comes from doing without those
> technologies, and that wisdom helps one better leverage the newest technology
> as they come forth.
> For instance, I skipped the PDA and held onto my day planner (old tech)
> during that time since I already had a very expensive $5000 laptop when those
> PDA technologies were coming forth, it seemed to me to be a duplication, one
> I really didn't need, as I was very efficient with my day planner, "To Do"
> lists, and relied on my memory to get me through the day for the rest.
> There was an interesting article recently in the Wall Street Journal on April
> 16, 2012 titled; "Google, Oracle Head to Showdown," by John Letzing and
> Steven D. Jones which discussed all the court battles for patents going on in
> the mobile smart phone space.
> Now then, forget about the on-going legal battles in this space for a moment,
> because I'd like to make a comment about how these patent wars are actually
> hurting consumers, and not assisting companies bring forth the technology,
> rather slowing it into the market place.
> You see, I'd submit to you that the future changes in the advancement of
> mobile technology is actually being slowed down by these patent wars, by the
> patent process, and by the cost incurred for the legal staff and billion
> dollar court awards from these lawsuits. Perhaps, by now we'd have
> holographic video phones with hologram performers by now, if the tech
> companies could get on with the business of delivering the future today.
> Speaking of the future, the kids going to school may get onto a self-driving
> school bus and in the future we may have flying school buses or no school at
> all, rather a holographic immersion system, learning by Avatar in your living
> room. The future of thought-swapping social networks is coming, along with
> PhD brain
> [*Buffstream*|https://complextime.com/buffstream-what-is-it-and-why-use-it/]
> chips, no college needed, but this will mean folks must better understand the
> fundamentals to do something great with it.
> Your smart phone would be a brain chip, connected to your Google Goggles and
> you'll be living your life in augmented reality, straddling two worlds, and
> enjoying both as one - your new reality. Now then, think back a couple of
> decades - look how far we've come so far? Yes, see what I mean, we've come a
> long way, but as Ray Kurweil and the Singularitists have advised we may be in
> for a hyperspace in technology and nothing today will be similar to that of
> tomorrow.
> It's going to be quite exciting and a little scary, but totally cool I bet -
> so why slow it down with Tech Company in-fighting, as there are lots of
> consumer dollars for the next generation of technology and the next two after
> that - bring it on I say. Please consider all this and think on it.
