Future PC and the TARDIS in this week in GeekTech

Alex and a robot ... something ...Welcome to this week in the GeekTech, your roundup of the best stories of the past week (or so) from the PCWorld GeekTech blog! We're a little late this Go-around, but we will move on Friday afternoon, starting this coming week. Let's get started.

PC 2020: GeekTech contemplates the future of the PC

We are currently running a series of stories where we look at where the PC is now, and where it is headed. Try another pair rate over the next few days, but in the meantime, get caught up with what we have so far ...

Is a TARDIS! Heck Yes! And you might be coming to a campus near you. Check out the photos!

In the future, everyone will be just a robot that makes their offer and order their coffee and muffins.

Wait, what?

That last part is actually true: someone has sent you a telepresence robot from Anybots order a scone from a cafe in Mountain View, CA. Watch the video!

While we're on the subject of Robotics slightly creepy developments, there is this story of an on-line under development that would allow robots to share information with others. No word on if it will be used to organize a robo-revolution.

We have had the privilege of having an email interview with Jason Brush, Executive Vice President of user experience at schematic, the company that Google has worked to develop the art project of Google. Here's what he had to say.

See you next week!
