Question

What do you think computers will be like in the future?
Here are my ideas
-CPU: The CPU will be big (more transistors means more space).
-RAM: Computers will have RAM up the wazoo, but no HD's, because everything is stored into the much faster RAM. Sort of like palm-top computers, which only have RAM (But that's because they can't fit HD's, but you get the idea).
-Disk drive: Only one, possibly a small disc will be used, although, maybe in the future, every computer is in a world wide network, and discs will not be needed to trade data. If there are discs, they will probably be like mini-cd's, doing away with magnetic types.
-Video card: GeForce 911 Turbo Can display 1048576 bit color, at a very high unknown resolution.
-Sound card: Nothing super advanced, just plays super high quality sound, and is fully 3D/surround.
-Monitor: This will be a half bubble that covers your desktop. You are inside of it. Everything appears 3D, this is really good for games!

-OS: Windows 2057 will be used. It will cripple the computers, slowing them down tremedously, making them unstable, and require frequent software patching.
