Visions of the future
I love visions of the future. When I was a young boy I would read about flying cars, colonies on Mars, intelligent houses and watch telephones. And years later I still love to see future concepts.
The BBC walked around in Microsoft’s Home of the Future to see what their vision is on home computing in a couple of years time (which seems to be placing large tables and surfaces around the house with embedded technology).
It’s interesting to see how large companies see the future. Not only for the geek-factor of discovering new technologies and possibilities, but also because it gives us an inside look of what kind of products and technology a company will focus on. These concepts will of course be up to the scrutiny of focus groups and other forms of market testing before they’ll be found at your local computer (or maybe furniture in this example) store. As with all visions of the future it remains to be seen if it will come true.
Because the flying car I was promised is still not in front of my house.
