Microsoft’s view of the Future of Computers

March 2nd, 2009

Somehow after watching this video, my computer looks so boring.

Give Microsoft credit for being visionary.

By the way, the “digital wallet” is what I’m looking forward to the most. Why do I have to carry 25 different cards in my wallet? I don’t carry cash. But there has to be a better way than carrying these various pieces of plastic around.

Those devices people are carrying around in the video will probably be the iPhone 5G. Microsoft couldn’t build a cool interface like that, but by making a video about it years ahead of time, they can try to claim credit for the idea. The problem is, most of the graphics came from the movie “Minority Report” — so that’s not even original.

Its a cool little video, and as stated its not that original, but still cool. Though I do have a compliant, the lines between digital and physical were a little bit blurred, though that could just be because it moved really fast. No matter how advanced we get we will always be limited by the fact that the digital device will have to have an interface and never be completely transparent with our reality which is analogous.
