Microsoft on your future

Hard to wrap your head around something yo may not know or understand trip? Doubt that new tech could come out in a decade?

I am familiar with nanotech. That's what it's going to take. Using cells/bacteria as electrical components. I doubt we will phones completely made of that in 10 years. That would require a huge leap in the rate we are developing tech right now.

Pretty much

Seems pretty cool. Looks like I will need to make more money. Things are going to be expensive with everything having a computer in it.

Airplay mirroring. That video is already halfway here, but it's not Microsoft.

And Microsoft has had desktop sharing for awhile... Think of this more as a hive mind instead of a sharing application like Airplay. All the computers are just like one big desktop. It's a lot different.

Not familiar enough with glass panel to say, but I will say that most of the "new technology" from the past ten years isn't really new. Plasma screens and touch screens were around well before 2001. Computing speed is, of course, increasing exponentially as is has since the dawn of the microchip. But the cellular networks, flat screens, internet, smart phones, etc., that we know and love today are all just improvements on existing technologies from 10-20 years ago. In some cases it was just a question of expanding the infrastructure, which is not really a technological advance.

That said, glass panel or not, they also seemed to be showing interactive hologram technology. If we have that in 10 years, if ever, I'll be very surprised. Smoke reflections don't count.

Can virtually do it today, with just one tiny ASIC on the outside border.

Not if you want to use a cell phone radio and power the entire thing and run in depth apps. We are not yet to that stage. If Steve Jobs could of made the iphone a glass panel even at a premium, that shit would of been a glass panel.

Distributed computing, extended to distributed communications. The 'phone' only needs to be short range, potentially even obtaining power via induction, in order to access Bluetooth or WiFi based local area networking. Everything is done via IP6 including VOIP, texting, email, and video.
