Microsoft Predicts A Touch Screen Future For The World In 10 Years

Microsoft's Business Division president Stephen Elop presented the latest production from Microsoft Office Labs called "2019″ at the Wharton Business Technology Conference held recently. The presentation had a video which was nothing short of images like you might have seen in the movie Minority Report. Check the Video below.

Microsoft is known for making futuristic predictions and Bill Gates had even penned a book in the mid 90’s called The Road Ahead which hailed internet as the next big thing.

Our take on the above video is that its unlikely that such changes will be possible in just 10 years. Because technology changes would take more time as people aren’t used to touch screen interfaces just yet. Not in countries beyond the US. But in anycase its a great video to watch and wonder as to how will it be to live in a world like this.
