LOL

All that tecnology and there are still bellhops, valet, drivers, cooks, clerks, and all the other non-techo to facilitate the efficient techo users. What a crock of cannoli.

It doesn't matter how far you push techno... there are still 7 billion people in the world that are going to need food, shelter, clothing and the majority of them will still be doing the minimal (non-techo) jobs that no one wants to do.

Microsoft is not representing of anything, but stuff they promote. If they are so darn cool and smart why is the backend to their latest operating system still DOS, a A forty year old system software. Innovation is basically stagnant. We only have embellishments using the old technologies from the late 60's for the most part.

LMAO

Agree 100% I am no fan of Microsoft... perhaps it should be called future of 1st world countries

I was arguing with some guys at work who believe in the future of automated travel and while im sure it will be like that one day they seemed completely oblivous to the facts that you mentioned... how would the lorry, bus, taxi and aircraft drivers feel when they are given the middle finger.... It will be reminiscent of the Luddite's.

Microsoft should write stuff for Star Trek, their vision of the future is a waste of time and money, they should leave this stuff to Apple and think about releasing an OS that actually works half as good as Mac OSX lol

Jobs was damn right: folks at Micro$oft lack the vision..

Have you ever heard of MS' Think Tank?
That's a research facility with several dozens employees - their only task is to think about our future needs in about 10 years - be it soft- or hardware.

Btw: Samsung is expected to launch the first flexible Galaxy cellphone next year.

Cool vid -- thanks for sharing this.

It'd be neat to revisit it 30 or 40 years from now to see how it compares to the reality. It's fun to see how the future was envisioned by movies and even comic books decades ago. I have to say, FaceTime on the little iPhones impresses hell out of me. Last week friends vacationing in Italy skyped us here (near Toronto) from their hotel room using their iPad -- again, as a kid of the 1950's this wows me.

Someday they'll have Link Trainer simulators on home PC's..........

Apple - Taking away user options for the sake of simplicity since 1977.

Apple - Making high quality goods from old components and selling them at ludicrous prices.

Steve Jobs - Visionary not really, he was a business man.
