CompuSticks! It’s A Small World After all!

Not many decades ago, computers that were as powerful as the device you are using to read this article was so big it filled a medium sized room. As the world begins to get smaller politically and monetarily, we are seeing a massive shrink in digital devices too.

Everything electronics have been becoming more powerful and with so much more features in smaller casings. Now fully capable computers are starting to treacle out in the form no bigger than a USB stick. Yes a USB stick! We at Computer Potato call them compusticks.

Many companies and tech giants are working together and researching into more powerful computers that come in small packages.

We at The Computer Potato think this innovation is inevitable and will be very useful when they finally pick up. Imagine you are going for a business or friendly meeting and you don’t have to carry that big laptop bag anymore. All you need carry is your USB sized  PC and a monitor and keyboard when you get to your meeting.

We think computers will only get smaller and maybe one day a supercomputer today could fit into a USB stick. We sure can’t wait!

Amazon Dash & Dash Button

We have all seen the scenes in movies where everything in our daily lives are automated by voice control robots or light emitting computers. We spoke about the Internet of Things a few weeks ago and even recently we have seen companies already setting up the platforms to make this a reality.

Commercial companies are already taking advantage of our love for the future of technology, the ease it promises, and are using this to attract us into buying more. The Amazon Dash and Dash Button are certainly going to ease even more shopping online.

You simply tell the Dash what you want to buy or scan the pack of the product you want, then go to your Amazon account, review the list you created, schedule delivery, place order and viola!

With the Dash button, it goes a step easier. According to Amazon’s website, you “use the Amazon app on your smartphone to easily connect to your home Wi-Fi network and select the product you want to reorder with Dash Button. Once connected, a single press automatically places your order. Amazon sends an order alert to your phone, so it’s easy to cancel if you change your mind. Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered. ”

We at the computerpotato think the Amazon Dash and Dash button or technology like this will be the future of shopping and many more companies and ideas will spring from this dew!
