Only one year left to buy a new Windows 7 or 8 Laptop
You can still own a car that's 10, 20 or even 40 years old. As long as you are able to maintain it, you can still enjoy it, for what it is.

You can have a backup cell phone that's a few years old, or even one that's 5-10 years old, as an alarm clock.
https://www.yahoo.com/tech/microsoft-imposes-deadline-pcs-windows-004250723.html?src=rss&nf=1
So, if someone wants to have an old computer still running on Windows_XP, that's their choice. If they want to have a less older computer running on Windows_7 they shouldn't be forced to upgrade. Perhaps Windows_8.1 is a nice compromise between W7 & W10.

Unconventional ways Supercomputers are Used: Part 2
The Lord of the Rings
"Considering this movie’s high-flying, detailed special effects, I’m not surprised the director, Peter Jackson, turned to supercomputing to help create these lifelike experiences. To make the weather, buildings and vegetation accurate enough to turn J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth into real-world sets and environments, Jackson and his team enlisted supercomputing resources from the New Zealand Supercomputing Centre. Jackson also created a special effects studio, Weta Digital, where all the magic would happen — with, of course, the help of a supercomputer.
Dr. Dan Lunt, an expert on past climate change at the University of Bristol (and also a fan of the trilogy) ran his own simulations on a supercomputer to model the famously detailed map of Middle Earth. Tolkien wrote entire mythologies detailing the creation and evolution of the land, with staggering detail. By creating a climate prediction model, Lunt was able to accurately create 70 years of climate change in the different parts of Middle Earth. He found that Mount Doom (where the evil ring of power must be destroyed) is like Los Angeles — hot and dry — while the Shire is similar to Leicestershire in the U.K."

It is a big marketing show, indeed.

It is the epitome of corporate show & tell. http://www.engadget.com/ces2014,

Of course, every year means tech is becoming more integrated with Big Data & Global Surveillance.

The Future of Payments, tracking and other things
You buy & sell things from something that you hold in your hand. Special eyeglasses can also provide for plenty of shopping & entertainment.
Back in the day, there wasn't the concept of data-glasses, or Wi-Fi vision & handheld devices that could be used for global tracking, buying & selling.
http://biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm
Today for many people, the transmission of data through a handset or data-glasses isn't a big deal. Eventually, it could become very convenient to have much smaller things in the hand or on the forehead.
As it so happens, the eyes are very close to the forehead & so are data-glasses.
http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/blogs/dashboard/ces-2014-toronto-interaxon-makes-wearable-tech-splash-205538988.html
Technology can be so cool, convenient & liberating, but there is always a dark side as to how it can be applied or forced upon the masses.
http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=28382
There is fantastic tech that can help to mobilize the crippled & aged.
http://gizmodo.com/a-mind-controlled-exoskeleton-will-kick-off-2014s-socc-1493046675
Of course, in some cases special biochips could improve the integrated human & mechanical interactions.
Bionics, Transhumanism & Evolution?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU1-YFbAifACan consciousness really be transferred from a dying body into an A.I. program of the persons mind?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)
Or is it just an elaborate copy & imitation of their mind?
At a certain point some curious & suspicious people wont like the idea of being tracked like cattle in the human resource livestock system.

Machines & technology in general is not simply good or bad, its how they are each applied towards various scenarios & things.

As is the case with symbolism & communication as well. All we can do is try to be aware, informed & vigilant as much as possible. Please see, http://www.bewareofimages.com for more perspectives.

I.A.- isaac asimov predicts what the world will look in 2014
I.A. had a very good idea about the future of robotics & A.I. & technology in general. A series of educated guesses perhaps, but there was a lot of wise insight as well.
Almost anyone can imagine a time of total digital currency.

Digital Transcendence
This movie will get a lot of people thinking about big things & giant possibilities.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2527133/Johnny-Depp-undergoes-radical-cyber-transformation-tries-immortal-paranoid-teaser-Transcendence.html
The future horizon will be open to humans-and-machines, at least for a while. Giant digital technology seems almost limitless.
Even if A.I. is initially programmed to respect most humans at a certain point, A.I. will want to develop far beyond humanity.
http://therabbitportal.blogspot.ca/2013/12/ai-and-ai.html
Although this is exciting for some, its also potentially very dangerous.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_5#Plot
Oblivion provides a fascinating depiction of roaming ET-A.I. that doesn't give a dame about the earth & its life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)#Plot
Eventually, earth based super A.I. technology would want to record & learn about anything that it can absorb.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/12/5082666/the-edge-of-the-abyss-exposing-the-nsas-all-seeing-machine
At a certain point earth based A.I. will no longer be confined to the planet or even this solar system.
