A look in the near future of electronic technology

technology. I think there are other electronics technologies, be prepared to off, not widely available yet, or just around the corner, which will become adopted as quickly in the near future. Once elements is the voice over Internet Protocol Internet, also known as VoIP. This innovation makes the concept of long distance virtually obsolete. She has no traditional phone infrastructure the company offers phone service through an Internet connection bandwidth to a regular phone. Similar phones cell phone service is purchased on the basis of a fixed and / or an unlimited number of minutes. However, the geographical divisions are generally made by the country or continent, rather than areas local or area codes. For example, a contract through the U.S. VoIP do not have unlimited calling in North America and 300 minutes per month for calls to any elsewhere. Unlike cellular service, you are not charged for incoming calls. With VoIP service, area codes are not really a problem, but you still have one. However, some providers offer plans that you can select any area code in your country or continent!

The area code you choose is basically at stake for those who have traditional phone service, which calls for you. If you choose an area code in California, example, someone calls you from a traditional phone line would be charged as if they called California, even if they lived next to you in New York. A major advantage VoIP is less expensive than traditional phone service. As it avoids most of the infrastructure of telephone companies "also happens ignore many of the costs associated with it. So far, Congress has maintained a hands-off approach when it comes to tax VoIP services. Most major phone companies are now offering VoIP or plan to begin in mid-2005. However, there are small firms that are offering much cheaper low. Vonage (www.vonage.com) is a small company that was one of the pioneers of VoIP. Lingo (www.lingo.com) and Packet8 (www.packet8.com) are two other small companies offer VoIP at discount prices. Another such technology is Broadband over power line, or CPL. Already widely used in many other countries and is currently being tested in the U.S., BPL is the delivery of Internet services on broadband lines for conventional power. A computer is connected to a special modem that simply plugs to an electrical outlet. This type of service could be useful for those who can not get traditional broadband services like cable modem or subscriber line digital (DSL), as almost everyone has access to electricity today.

Once refined, BPL could eventually prove less expensive and faster that the services provided and attract some of its customers. Incidentally, be careful when talking about BPL and make sure people do not think not what you say, "VPL." Otherwise, you can get a good laugh! While we're on the topic of broadband services, the technology just around the corner will be faster than they are today. Typical download speeds for broadband ranges from 1.5 to 10 megabits per second (Mbps) today. In the coming year, rates 15-20 Mb / s will be available to the average consumer. Then, shortly thereafter, speeds of up to 25, 50, 75 and 100 Mbps will be available in some locations. In the not too distant future, speeds 25-100 Mbps is fairly common. "Fast TCP", which is currently being tested, has the potential to turbo-charge all forms Internet Connection Broadband is available without upgrades to infrastructure. It is better to use the way the data are analyzed and presented together in traditional internet protocols. All major phone companies are replacing copper by his son, fiber optic high-capacity lines.

One example is Verizon's fiber to the home (FTTP) initiative. fiber optic lines will significantly increase the amount of bandwidth that can be delivered. Fiber optics will allow phone companies to transmit video or through a platform type or cable TV Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) platform (See my October 7 column), and DSL speeds. At the same time, telephone companies are working with Texas Instruments to develop a new way technically efficient over DSL, called Uni-DSL. Finally the current Internet as we know it will be scrapped and completely replaced by a new Internet called "Internet 2. This new site is expected to deliver speeds up to 6000 times faster than current broadband connections! Another technology that you've probably heard talk a lot about recently is digital television. Digital television uses a different wavelength of the traditional analog TV and has a width much wider band. It also has an image that is never "snow" or "fuzzy." If the signal is not strong enough, you get no picture at all, instead of the blur that sometimes with analog inputs. To receive digital signals waves must have a digital television (one with a tuner digital) or analog TV with a set-top converter. Cable also use satellites and all digital formats, but unlike broadcast signals, their digital HD signals are automatically converted into a format that an analog TV can handle, if a digital television or converter is not necessary. High definition television formats, including cable, satellite need a digital TV or a converter (more on High Definition later). All TV programs are making their digital channels in addition to their normal broadcasts on their analog channels, but originally it was supposed to turn completely analog signals into digital signals the end of 2006. However, there is an exception that allows them to wait up to 85% of the TVs in your market are digital. This could take 10 years or more to happen. Congress and the FCC are now trying to impose a deadline on all broadcasters to convert digital signals in 2009. Once all the conversions to digital signals, analog channels will be returned by the FCC and other purposes, such as ringing emergency. High Definition Television (HDTV) is a possible use of digital signals. HDTV uses the bandwidth digital format and crystal clear waters, you've probably seen on TVs in electronics stores. No visible lines on the screen. Someone once described as like "watching a movie in the theater." Keep in mind that all HDTV is digital, but not all digital HDTV. In the same order, not all digital TVs HDTV. Since digital TVs are very expensive and those capacity are more expensive HDTV, consumers need to truly have. Another possible use of digital signals is channel compression, often referred to "Multicast." non-HDTV programming does not use the full width of a digital

signal. Therefore, it is possible to compress two or more channels of programming on a digital signal. Satellite operators and that all the time with strings of non-digital HDTV, but this process is transparent so many people do not realize. Many broadcasters will to use their digital signals this way during the periods when not used for HDTV programming. For example, a plan to air all the news and all weather channels circuit in addition to their regular programming. TV recording and playback technology is also changing. DVD recorders, which began last four years, have become affordable for the average family. A couple of years they have been charged more than $ 1,000, but now you can get for about $ 250 many cases. The main sticking point now with DVD recorders is that not everyone record and playback the three competing formats: DVD-RAM DVD-RW, DVD + RW. They have difficulty in gaining acceptance of the general public until one format is settled on all recorders can record and read all three formats. Moreover, digital video recorders (DVR) and personal video recorders (PVRs), only two names for some What is really the same thing, seem to be gaining rapidly in popularity. DVR / PVR using a hard disk to record programs without discs or tapes. DVR / PVRs with larger hard drives are becoming available and least expensive of all time. These devices can record one show while watching another. They can register more than one show at a time. You can see part of a show that has already been saved while the rest of this show is still being recorded. Facilitate exploration, search and skip through recorded programs and even can skip commercials with a touch of a button. They let you pause live programs while you answer the door or go to the bathroom and pick up where you left when you return. With these devices, recording can be automatic, that can be programmed to automatically record all episodes of your favorite shows, no matter the time of its release. Also can automatically find and record programs that match your interests. In addition, video can be automatically downloaded to the device through a connection phone. TiVo, the leading brand in the industry, has announced it will partner with Netflix for next year which allows the downloading of movies on demand via a connection to broadband Internet (see my October 7 column for details). DVR / PVRs are becoming so popular television providers cable and satellite began to regard them as additions to its receptors, either without additional cost or for a small additional monthly fee. About the only flaw DVR / PVR is that you can not play prerecorded DVDs or tapes, then you'll still need your DVD player or VCR if you rent or buy movies. However, hybrid devices that combine DVR / PVR with a DVD player / DVD recorder DVD and / or VCR are hitting the market. These devices do not just get rid of this problem, but also give you the opportunity to permanently transfer a recorded show / movie from a hard disk to a DVD disc. flat screen technology and flat TV screen is also beginning to flourish. Many people are confused about the difference between TV and flat screen televisions flat screen. A TV screen Use flat cathode-ray tube age (CRT) picture tubes and therefore bulky like traditional TV. However, they differ from traditional TV, because they have a flat screen. They offer an image that does not glow as much as traditional screens around more. In addition, the image is the same for everyone in the room, no matter where they sit. A standard screen image appears distorted when viewed from an angle. Flat screen TVs, on the contrary, the use is liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma technology instead of the old CRT technology and are typically a few centimeters thick. Many of them can be hang on a wall. In fact, flat screen TVs that are flatter than a credit card is Coming Soon! What is the difference between LCD and plasma? LCD is generally used for flat screen televisions with a screen less than 30 inches and usually has a brighter image and better contrast than plasma. LCD is used for computers and flat screens. Plasma is generally used for flat screen televisions with screens larger than 30 inches and has a better range of colors than LCD. The plasma is increasingly common as televisions are becoming flatter. I'm not sure about this person

I will include entertainment PCs, " because its enormous potential to revolutionize home entertainment. The concept of entertainment PC "was hailed at the time by Microsoft and Intel. In fact, Microsoft has developed an operating system specifically for them. Could be used as entertainment center for all home and could improve the experience of a family of television, the music and Internet radio and actually contribute to the integration into one. You could use the Internet to download content and play on TV. They could not interfaces provide such sophisticated recording TV as VCRs, DVD and DVR / PVR everyone could eventually become obsolete. Furthermore, it could be better source of photography and video editing and processing that the common household PC. That said, I'm not sure that people are willing to accept PC as a source home entertainment. Bill Gates may vary and are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Clearly, not all electronic cutting edge technology before above will meet a great success. Some of them might actually go the way of the Betamax of digital audio tape (DAT), and DivX. However, many of them are sure to ignite and become an integral part of our everyday life we ask how we were able to do without it. Who are they? Only time will tell. read more information technology, click here
