I am definitely looking at doing Aeronautics but I know I would be cheating myself out of a lot of opportunities if I didn't do something in computers cause I am very good with both hardware and software. The only reason I don't already know this is because it it's more a recent decision because of being more focused on making decisions based off aeronautical engineering.
How can I invent and realize computer hardware? I have a very specific idea for a piece of computer hardware that I believe would be very useful.

I would also be willing to exchange the rights to the idea for either employment, money, shares or licensing. I do not have a patent (in part because I do not have a prototype) and I have performed a cursory search to see if this concept has been created.

What is the next step in computer hardware? I worked as a computer tech for a couple of years back in the day when 286, 386, 486 and so on was still kicking butt. The technology was moving staggeringly fast. I mean pc's went from 486 to Pentium, mmx, p-pro and so on within a matter of a year. You couldn't count on your new pc to be on the market even for a couple of months. But now it seems that technology is moving so slowly. I have a P4, 3GHz pc that I bought 2 years ago. I know the new duel core processors are on the market, but I can wait now before I buy one, knowing that the price will go down and there won't be to much of a change in hardware for pc's. Is there new technology that will change everything again and when do we see this. I mean cd's, dvd's and so on is old news. What's next?
