The future according to Microsoft
Filed under: Conversation, Microsoft, New Web Creations, New technology, Web services
Craig Mundie is the Chief Research and Strategy Officer for Microsoft. His job is to envision and explain how changes in software and hardware will have an effect on the computer user in the coming decades.
Use the Microsoft News link below to access the film archive and see a short film by Mundie which explains some of the key concepts in Microsoft future thinking. Not only will ‘cloud computing’ become more powerful and accessible, but the development of what Microsoft call natural user interfaces’ will dramatically affect present day users.
Our laptops and devices will also go on getting more powerful and, Mundie argues, enable the creation of ‘personal assistants’. Where our devices can render support and services in the way that a human support worker can offer at present.
Games and flat screen touch technology will also offer a paradigm shift in how we look at, interrogate and sort information.
Mundie’s film is good on featuring practical application change that will be recognisable to the computer user of today.
