“God!, He’s aged so much!!!” – that was the thought that hit me first when I saw Bill Gates in his latest video. As the movie rolled on, it srtuck me that the old warhorse has got his game spot on. Any one who views the demo of Microsoft Surface for the first time is sure to be floored by the immense possibilities this technology can open-up in the future.
Surface Computing has been around for a while – from the popular touch screen phones to the latest iPod-Touch, it is constantly evolving. But Microsoft has taken this concept to an entirely new level. Picturise this, you and your friend go to a bar and you put your credit card on the table. The table instantly recognises you and starts showing up your favourite drinks on the table based on your past choices. You can order your refreshments by touching the table and your card gets billed automatically. Sounds sci-fi? Well, you may get to see such gizmos in your friendly neighbourhood bar very shortly.
This and many more, makes Microsoft Surface, truely the technology of the future. Check out the website’s flash contents to be blown over.
As Bill Gates says, instead of putting a computer on every desktop, every desktop will become a computer – soon.
