operating system lecture post

My entrepreneurial idea is to produce a machine that reads your brain waves and transmits those brain waves into physical activity, or images onto a tablet computer. If i were to will it, I can paint a whole landscape with my brain or take lecture notes with my brain onto a tablet.

The operating system of any system unit is the heart and is the most important thing. Obviously it's going to need a GUI operating system rather than a command line because command line interface will be super complicated to deal with especially since there are other tablets out there that have a competitive advantage of being simple and easy to use. My tablet has to match other tablets in simplicity and efficiency.

The operating system should also be single user and multitasking because the technology is available. An Ipad can multitask pretty well. Although the Ipad is kind of the king of the crop when it comes to tablets (it's the most popular tablet on the market now), I think my tablet should use Windows 8 OS. Windows 8 OS is going to be a new OS designed for tablets in mind. "It's a tablet first, and desktop second". It's going to be an entire OS compared to Apple's IOS which is just a modification of their first one.

In the end, the operating system will need a pretty good operating system with a powerful processor. It's going to have multitasking so the user can listen to music while surfing the web and entering the brain waves translated into words into the search function.

  1. I like your idea but if it's something that will have to be able to read the brain wave and transmit the information to the tablet then i'm not sure the new Window 8 OS will be the best choice. Maybe you can look into other operating system that is more on the medical side as we are talking about brain waves here. Hope it helped!
