reminds me of Spielburg’s vision of the future in a little movie known as MINORITY REPORT!

I bet Steve directed this little “montage”

this tech was also shown in quantum of solace, in british intell hq. i wouldnt be surprised if all of the tech shown in this video was already slated for prod and microsoft was already working on the next innovation. crazy creative. im a mac user, but im extremely interested in how portable computing figures into this touchscreen/interactive/network-type tech.

That future looks too good to be true. Number 1, there is no advertising anywhere in the future. Number 2, everything works seamlessly across a wide number of devices and formats. Number 3, air travel is actually pleasant and relaxing. Number 4, blindness has been cured since EVERY interface is purely VISUAL.

The Treo Pro seems so dead in the water since the Pre was announced. I’d find it hard to drop any money on the Pro after seeing the demo videos of the Pre.

Wait, what’s all this touchscreen crap? Where’s the qwerty keyboards? Ballmer says we all want keyboards. This touchscreen stuff is never going to fly.

Yeah, and by that time Macs will be controlled by brainwaves. Just give up on Windows and viruses and ‘accept or deny’, and get a virus free Mac. Live a little!

2019? Yeah right, more like 2050. And by that time, who knows if Microsoft will still be around or not. Good video into the future though!

I don’t see this coming into fruition for a long time. All of these technologies will gradually come onto the scene, one by one. And after they are developed, it’ll still take time for them to become mainstream/widespread. The time it’ll take for so many different technologies to become so widespread will take ages. I possibly see Microsoft Surface-like technologies being widespread within 8 years. But that’s only one of the technologies… for all of the additional ones pictured it may take 5 years each…

So you’re telling me after years and millions spent on workstation ergonomics that a two dimensional touch screen is the future?
BS…touchscreens are way poluar right now and certainley have their place….they are not the way awe will interact with all computers.

@Maikel

“We will all be dead by then”

I really hope to live until 2019… Or are you just being pessimistic about the technology ever being produced?

So far in my life, technology has never ceased to amaze me. Predictions have been off (where is my bleepin’ flying car and computer that understands every word I say), but they things that have actually been made are cool.

Why didn’t they just show the movie Minority Report? That’s a lot more substantive than this vaporware from MSFT.

Hell I can dream up some stuff and get a guy with Maya to make a demo for me. It doesn’t mean crap.
