If there is one thing that makes tech of today fail to the tech of the past, it's the need of cooling systems. Do you think one day there could be the perfect cooling system that would never fail?

Electronics these days are also more easily broken by power surges and spikes from your home electricity plugs, so having a high quality surge protected power bar will make your computer and HDTV less likely to be zapped by power surges.
I heard in the future most computers would not need cooling systems or less powerful cooling systems because scientists are researching on how to make computers and other gadgets smaller and cooler which don't make so much heat and use as much electricity which is the cause for most heat problems.
Like Thin Client Computers are being used in Businesses, and Schools. Thin client computers produce very little heat because its programs are run on another computer which is very powerful and have enough cooling to stay cool. The more powerful computer then streams the video back to the thin client computer.
In the future, a lot of our programs will be run off a web server owned by Google, Microsoft, Apple, and other companies, so we won't need powerful computers which make a lot of heat since the program will be run off a web server owned by a company, so it is the company's responsibility to takes care of a web server's heat problem.
The Google Chrome Netbook is a good example of a computer which uses very little power, and does not produce a lot of heat because all of the programs are run on Google's web server and the computer just needs to be powerful enough to run Chrome Web Browser.
Onlive Game Console also does not produce a lot of heat since all the games are run off of a web server which Onlive owns and manage. I believe the console is fanless, and works similar to Digital TV cable boxs where the cable company streams video to your cable, and you use the remote to control the channel, and what TV channels or movies you want to order or watch.

I guess making things smaller would be good as well.

Indeed, the Playstation Vita handheld is a very powerful handheld console which is as powerful as some last generation or even more powerful then current generation consoles like the Wii, PSP, DS, 3DS, and the Vita does not have any moving fans for cooling.

The PS3 probably use outdated cheaper parts which was design to run fast, but also heat up very fast because of the large size of the chips, memory, hard drive, and other parts inside the system.
A good example of a portable computer which is fanless, but have some games which look as good as most newer console is the iPad 2.
The iPad 2 can display 1080P video on a HDTV, and I believe the Ipad 2 does not have any fans to cool it because it uses smaller chips which run fast, but are easier to cool because they are smaller, and run cooler.

I wonder how tiny the PS4 will be?
but then again, Ps2 ran great with a fan while the PS2 slim which I'm not sure had a fan or not seem to break a lot.

The PS4 might look like this.
But, I wonder if the PS4 will be a tablet with a Blu-Ray drive which you can connect to the TV.
The PS2 slim has a small fan which does not blow a lot of air, but it also did not run very hot in my experience.
I think the problem with the PS2 slim was mostly related to the disc drive failing. I played on a PS2 slim for many hours during summer, and it have never overheated for me
I read online that the Disc drives on the PS2 slim tend to fail because the lens or disc spinning motor drives are poorly made which cause it not to read the disc. I got a feeling a lot of people who have problems with the slim happened after they touch their Disc drive lens, blew the lens or wires off by blowing compress air too close to the lens, or touching the parts inside the disc drive.
While the Fat PS2 did not have its disc drive lens and motor exposed when you open the door like the top disc loading PS2 Slim.

cool pic of a possible PS4.
I see what your saying, seems like sony practically made the PS2 slim to be faulty.
