I've been playing around with sketching my character, and been slowly getting back into sketching. I want to however do a few pics of equipment and pics with equipment in them, possibly like the inside of a cyberdeck.
I've assembled more than enough PCs in my time to know how the insides of present day PCs, notebooks and other bits of tech look. What I'm interested in, is what are the trends that are developing today that might shape the look of things in 50 years? Are we still going to have masses of clunky capacitors? Data Ribbons? Slot interfaces? Circuits winding all over the board, with the odd wire soldered in and going to a far off component? What do we know about cyberdecks in shadowrun, what technology do they use and do we have any idea of what it might look like? Also other items, data-screens : will they look like modern flatscreens? Cell-phones, shape, size, styling? Wiring inside vehicles and drones, are we talking masses of wires? Will they still use wire? Would we still use chips and circuit-boards like today, what shape would they be? |
