So the brainiacs over at Microsoft decided that they would give us a glimpse into what they believe the future of technology will be like and how we would interact with our environment with technology built into every surface.
They have create a video that shows how they see technology unfolding and impacting our lives in the next 5-10 years. That’s right, the very near future. Microsoft claims that the technologies being showcased are already available in some form or the other; while some represent active research and development happening at Microsoft and other companies, and that eventually they will all be working together for your benefit. I should also point out that this video was done by the Microsoft Office product team, so its all about increasing your productive capabilities, helping to manage your time better, focusing on the most important things, and fostering meaningful connections with the people we care about.
So check out the video and see what you should expect in the next 5-10 years. I for one like the translator.
What do you think? Do you think Microsoft and other companies will be able to pull off this kind of integration and interaction within 10 years? Do you want to be that connected?
