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 technology looks awesome in this future created by Microsoft. Everything is paper/cardboard thin and looks really cool and virtual but it looks a bit overboard--I mean even the calender on the wall was computerized! I can't even imagine how much producers would initially charge consumers for these products. And I still don't get how that fridge worked!
I think the ideas in the video were absolutely fascinating and could help a lot of people with their daily lives and interactions with each other! However, most of the technology seems almost too good to be true..I'm not sure how far into the future they envisioned this but it seems a bit extreme for where I believe we are now. But then again, I may be wrong! I really liked the idea with the computerized calendar on the wall and the tablet the little girl was using for school and then to contact her mother and make the recipe. It seems so helpful and so interesting!
I think that in the future, technology will free up so much time in our lives that we should also be cognizant in what we enjoy doing in our lives. I can't to get that phone 2.
I really enjoyed this video. I think that these are all realistic things that will be available within the next ten years. I love how everything was part of the "cloud" and could be so easily transferred from one device to another. It really seemed that these people were able to more effectively manage and balance their work, social, and family lives into one smooth flowing machine. I can't wait for technology like this.
WOW! I think the ideas shown in this video are simply fascinating! They might be too advanced for us and our viewpoint right now but they might not to people later on. I also think people will become fatter as they will be more dependent on computers doing everything for them; looking for things, calculating them, and giving them new ideas as opposed to "assisting them". Overall, pretty overwhelming.
If this is what the future is to look like, it saddens me. Being told when to step forward to a car, looking at a building and it telling me I have a meeting there is just way too much. It takes away human individuality. From psychology, we have learned that humans like to function with minimal thinking and reading. However, this takes away creativity and imagination in my book. The last thing I want to be thinking about as I am riding in a vehicle down the road is my schedule and locations of meetings, but that's just me.
I am amazed with what Microsoft creates in our futures. However, I feel that technology will soon be more than sufficient, it will not only think for us, but do far more than what the human mind is capable of. Which in a sense, has already happened. However, it's going to wipe out much of human activity making us a much more dependent race. As much as I would love to have technology help me lead my life I would still like to be accountable for many other things.
To be perfectly honest, I can see a future like this, but it just doesn't seem viable in 5-10 years, but more like 25-50. I believe the technology that was displayed in the video is in development/ beta testing, but I don't think that the world will be this giant blob of smart phones and touch-screen business cards until they are affordable to anyone an everyone.
Technology is now developing quickly, and somehow is ahead of people's life. All of us can benefit from technology, such as we can use telepone to communicate with others more conveniently. I think technology will always help people through our endeavor.
The technology rate is going so fast that there going to have invention where you can talk to the computer intead of wasting your time typing and it will register everything you tell it into the computer
This video was amazing to me. Some of the stuff just seemed literally out of this world. I agree with Ian however, none of this will be given away, so maybe the world may end up with this type of technology but not everyone will be able to poses it. I really think the idea of the glasses that translates languages would be huge if created (among the other technologies as well!). We certainly have the ability to make this a reality, who knows maybe even more advanced.
I definitely believe that the technology like this does for sure have potential to exist, it's just who knows when the time will come. Great video, I thought it was realistic if something like this were to ever occur. Seems plausible, no doubt
I feel technology like this will not take long at all. Just ten years ago the thought of being on the full internet on your phone was insane. How about the macbook air? No one thought that 128 gb of storage would fit into a laptop that small. Everything is getting insanely thin and it will not be long, maybe ten years until we see much of our lives like this.
I enjoyed viewing Microsoft's vision of the future and the direction they seemed to be heading in. They seemed to really focus their technology on time management, which I liked seeing as college students are pretty busy at times. I did feel that they could've reduced the amount of products people needed to use in their daily lives, although everything seemed to sync together it felt a bit unnecessary. Although it is always exciting to see such innovation in technology, but it leaves me too wonder what kind of dangers such creations could bring.
Every time I would start to think how these products wouldn't be seen until far into the future, I was reminded of Moore's Law and how computing power doubles within 18 short months! With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if they are coming out with phones that thin within the decade (and hopefully by that time they're waterproof as well...) While I think this video is innovational and just plain cool, it kind of makes me wonder. What are we going to do with all of our time once we get this "efficient"? With computers doing everything for us-including thinking, I can't get the images of the Wall-E people out of my mind..
Some of these things I can see happening and others not so much. The guy with the clear card with information popping up this would be impossible unless processes and memory banks like ram were microscopic. The other thing is that people in this video are interacting with computers without a mouse or touch sometimes. One thing that is wrong with this is that computers can't read our minds. Computers and us are made out of completely different things and have no common ground to communicate through our minds to theres.
I definitely think that as technology grows, we are going to become more connected to each other and everything around us. the question I have is when is this technology going to be this advanced? I thought this video was great, because it showed the potential for future technology.
Wow, It is really awesome. And the vidoe shows great fascinating about new technology. Of course, it is give as more way and more change to connect with each other. But most impotant it's show the future that we dream for.
Microsoft's commercial campaigns are some of the best in the business. From a video like we see here to an Xbox video game like Gears of War (with Michael Andrews' Mad World, come on, that was great!) This definitely gets any consumer excited for the future, and maybe subconsciously, for Microsoft products.
My biggest issue with this video is that in order for this to happen we would either need a universal OS, or for Apple, Microsoft, and the rest of the bunch to work together to make their systems compatible! I mean I hope it happens but both scenarios seem unlikely.
This video struck me as something meant to intrigue people and let them know that technology like this has been thought of, it is being developed, and can be available to people but, it seems limited to select social classes (i.e. people who have the extra cash to buy into this technology). I also think that this is more fascinating to us here in the U.S. because we do not live in a highly technological city, Tempe for example. In other places such as France they have transportation (closely related to our subway) vehicles that move up to 300 mph, whereas our lightrial in PHX moves at the same speed as traffic around it (~40-50 mph). So, this technology featured in this video seems much more advanced when you live in a city that is behind in this sense.
i think that considering that technology has grown so incredibly much in just the past decade, that eventually we as humans will not be responsible for as many jobs in the future. Technology will be the basis of everything and will be able to do most jobs for us.
There doesn't seem to be any trees in Microsoft's future. Big ups to the minimalist designs and approaches. Hopefully the future software is not as difficult looking as it looks in the video. Goo alternative energy!
I love how in movies, tv shoes, and I guess youtube videos as well think of the future and all there is are white rooms EVERYWHERE. I bet that little girl's mom was in the room next to her. Lazy ass probably didn't want to actually get up and talk to her. After this productivity vision comes true, the next one is going to look exactly like Wall-E.
I believe that this video is very inspirational. Microsoft did do a good job in making people believe that this will be the future. However; this video might be too dramatic in the sense that all the technology appeared very lightweight and easy too use without any error. It will take decades for any advanced technology such as the one's represented in this video to be a part of our society. Also, it seems like Microsoft is competing with Apple Inc. Instead of competing, both Microsoft and Apple should team up together to make this a reality.
Thinking about the future and watching this video kind of freaked me out. Technology is growing to fast and has made us lazy. We aren't an active civilization anymore and we rely on our gadgets too much. I agree our world could some day look like in the movie Wall-E
At this rate, some of the stuff shown in the video can be made in no time. Question is, will it be easy to use? In the video they kinda make it seem like it, but I think there still will be quite the learning curve, as with any new piece of technology, before the full potential can be realized. For example, how many people fully realized the potential of the iPhone when it first came out? Not many, most people probably just used it for calls and texts, especially with the few apps that were available when the app store first launched.
This futuristic world envisioned by Microsoft looked really cool so I enjoyed the video whole heartedly, but the technology in this world seemed much much more advanced than many of the things we have today. Even with Moore's Law I don't think that a world like this can happen until a few decades from now but I can definitely see it happening in my life time.
Honestly everything in this video is spot-on, the one thing I'm hoping for are super oleophobic screens so that we never have to worry again about fingerprints or grease.
that is a great idea but it so not going to happen, people will spend more time doing stupid shit with their so called "extra time". as for having more ways to get work done and on different divises then thats okay.
Nowadays, it is true that people became more dependent on technology ,but this situation will be harmful if these technology break off in the future.As I see, we should find a great solution to prevent disappearing of the technology around us.
This video freaked me out. While I love all the advances in technology that have happened just within my lifetime, it scares me to think what the world will be like in the near future. I don't think it's good to become too dependent on technology. The part that I particularly didn't like was the young girl doing her math homework on the device that looked similar to an iPad. What happened to good old fashioned pencil and paper? Technology is improving upon itself so lightning fast it's difficult to comprehend.
I think this looks like a sad future. Yes, some of the technology very possibly will be created (a lot of it was like a more advanced iPad). However, the people in the video seemed way too dependent on technology. Children doing all their homework on a computer? Does this mean we eventually won't teach them how to write because it will be unnecessary? I think this amount of dependence would lead to a loss of individuality and and creative thinking.
If people can become that productive i think that people will be trying to do way to much making out lives very miserable and making everybody fat just like the what happened to the people in Wall-E. I also think that the younger generations will be able to learn much more easily and faster. more people learning at a faster rate will cause technology to move even faster.
A lot of these things i can see as practical and very much within the technological grasp of the next 15 years or so. I, however, personally doubt the effectiveness of convenient technology of the future for productivity. As the we can see how the growth of technology is directly correlated with the growth of the waistline. The more technology we get the closer we will become to the society in the movie "Idiocracy." The movie depicts a future society as dependent beings of convenient things--stupider and lazier than the people of today.
This video was amazing and opened my eyes, but it is to much. Its basically Google out of the internet and in realistic life. We already rely on Google to much and there is no doubt we would rely on this technology to. We humans would not even have to think anymore because the technology is doing all the thinking for us. Despite all of that, I definitely see this happening in the future but it will take lots of time.
The future, uncertain, but there are many depictions of what if can be like, and this is one of the best depictions I've seen. The world seems interwoven with technology and this is a good thing but also a bad thing. I mean we all know what happen with Skynet... (Terminator reference)
I really enjoyed this video. I love technology and would be very happy if I could get to experience this in my lifetime. I hope so! I think it would make us much more productive and will give us more time to spend with our family. I think that we would be able to be more mobile and not have to spend 8 hours at a desk everyday. I know these days a lot of people work from home but with technology like this it would make it easier for much more people to do this.
i feel that many of these things are absolutely technologically possible if not now then in the near future, its just that i dont know if this technology will ever be financially beneficial for a company. meaning that i dont know if a company would ever make a profit trying to sell this technology to people.
i feel after watching this video that this article http://everythingtechnology.net/new-technology-2012-discover-the-advancements-that-will-change-everything-around-us/ is pretty cool just kind of describing some cool new stuff thats coming out this year
Many things on this video make it seem that in the future we will no longer have to think nor remember things because they will be online where anyone can find them. We wont really have to know what things are because we might have tools where we just look and in our device it will tell us right away what you are looking at. Pretty much make it seem that we will all be really lazy to do things.
