I don’t know about any of you, but when I walk into a department store just to browse, the first place I always head, instinctively, is the electronics department. I get really excited when I think about what our future holds when it comes to technology. It has always been a passion of mine.
One of the major observations that I have made is that we are quickly seeing mouse and and keyboards disappear for a more hands on approach with technology. As computers become increasingly intelligent so does everything around us from the mirror in your bathroom to your kitchen counter. They refer to these as smart surfaces. I truly think that as we go into the future we will see more and more technology that focus on gestures or voice to make it interactive and customizable. Here is a video I found, created by Corning Incorporated, that shows a future where this is a very prominent factor.
As I dug around a bit deeper with the creators of this video I discovered they created a follow up video that goes into a little bit more detail as to what they hope to achieve with their smart surfaces as technology advances.
