Thread: Technology, Where is it taking us?

Created by a division of Microsoft, Watch how future technology will help people make better use of their time, focus their attention, and strengthen relationships while getting things done at work, home, and on the go. The future of technology is bright.

Really love it, though I doubt Microsoft will get us there. Especially since this seem to have featured a project that Gates himself may have axed. The inside story of how Microsoft killed its Courier tablet | Microsoft - CNET News

This'll take ingenious entrepreneurs, intelligent designers, and lots and lots of capital.

Very interesting video. I enjoyed it.

Very interesting concept video. Reminds of this one by Cornings the company responsible for gorilla glass which is found on just about every smart phone now days.

Very interesting indeed. The minute I saw a keyboard I started SMH

Nicely made video...It doesn't seem too far in the future that we'll be seeing stuff like that IRL however i doubt it'll be Microsoft that'll take us there.

Sorry to be the Debbie Downer, but we're quite a ways away from seeing anything close to this. At the application level, we're getting closer to seeing this type of capability. But at the mobile connectivity level, this ain't happening anytime soon. The backhaul necessary to achieve this level of near instantaneous download and upload is enormous, and even then there are laws of physics that also act as something of a bottleneck for the data transport needed to make this video a reality.

Even if you could get enterprises like Apple, Google, Oracle, Cisco, Samsung & GE to collaborate (which would never happen in this lifetime) on the different aspects their product sets and R&D would play in this type of world, they'd still have to account for the massive global data network needed for their applications and products to work.

Everything is a screen in the future haha. I like the concepts in the video, major cudos go out to whoever designed the UI for all the applications seen. I really hope the future is like this, but the sad truth is that if our technology is that advanced, there will be no need for 90% of the jobs we have today. Rampant unemployment and overpopulation would occur causing a complete breakdown of society in general. But thats just my assumptions haha.

All seems a lot like video calls on mobile phones. Seem interesting and cool at first however most people never use it.

Very cool video!

I've been fascinated with the idea of being able to 'throw' images onto any surface and manipulating it in free space. Don't think I'll be able to see it in this lifetime but you never know!
