Looking Into The Future

Mircosoft had came out with a clip on the Productivity Future Vision. If you have time, spend some time and have a look into the future.

Your phone that becomes your most powerful and important companion. So much information stored inside, I wonder what happens if you loose it. Yes, it is very cool to be able to read all your emails and work, spin it around in the air to browse through your documents, carry no bag further. However, to be able to do that you need data roaming throughout the world, unlimited battery life, you also risk exposing your personal information to hackers. If someone were to kidnap you, all they need to do is tap into your phone and locate where you are, or check your travel itinerary well ahead.

Technologies do help bring gap closer. Able to talk to your kids while you are doing your stuff in your own room is really a wonder. Still, I believe a certain amount of direct human interaction is better. Otherwise, you will only have memories with your family on an electronic media.

Having said that, I still look forward to see all this happening in the future, hopefully in the near future. Every technology is actually very good, it helps us make life better, it is always the users which determine how good or how bad it can be.
