The same company that has brought us the timely, well thought-out and designed versions of windows has apparently been releasing their visions for the future. (No joke.) What? Last time I checked the company’s vision was copy steal from the innovators. So of course you can imagine the entrainment value these provide.
First up, Microsoft’s vision of the future home. Do you see anything innovative in this video? I don’t. Everything portrayed is old thinking or technology already available. Really, who in the future is going to have a their TV remote separate from the phone? And why is the TV remote the size of a 1990 cell phone? Also, what is up with the random keyboard in the bedroom? At least there are still surprise parties in the future Microsoft world. Direct video link.
Microsoft Labs also released their vision of the future, and the most interesting thing is the Harry Potter style newspaper. But sadly, I don’t think it comes with the thrill of magic. Most of my words on the Microsoft Labs video though can be summed up through this crafty remix from Sarcastic Gamer. The best part is years away date. Very True for Microsoft.
Here is a link to the un-remixed version.
