MICROSOFT OFFICE LABS 2019

Microsoft has published a video online that shows us how technology may change by 2019. Microsoft developed this video with the help of customers, partners, and thought leaders by showcasing different scenarios, such as, long-term trends, customer challenges, and emerging technologies. This video shows how the future might improve our lives both at home and work. They focused on three technology solutions: natural and intuitive expressions, seamless and secure connections, and contextual and anticipative insights. If you are interested in learning in more detail how these might work, visit the website stated below.

Nanotechnology in 'Super-Fast Computers of the Future'

Believe it or not, nanotechnology is already being used in suntan lotion and other consumer products, and to provide stain resistance to clothing, and it will soon revolutionize computing. "Nanotechnology is the process of manipulating matter at the atomic level..." Research on nanotechnology shows potential for using light to process large amounts of data faster than ever.

Nanoplasmonic devices that guide and direct light are more than 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair and have been made to interact with light in a highly controlled way that could be used to build super high-speed 'optical computers', processing information using light instead of electric currents used today.

Research on nanoplasmonic devices is being conducted at Queen's University Belfast and Imperial College London.

Where Are We Going?

Can you imagine owning one of this in the nearest future, isn't it amazing to look at? This is a production of Sony and it might hit the market as late as 2015, we will see than.

This is call the XEL-1, it uses less energy because it does not have backlight compare to LCD and HDTV. This size is about 3 millimeters thick and measures 11 inches diagonally. This is just the smallest one so far, but eventually the bigger ones will be produce. It will be easier to mount on the wall of your homes because it is so "slim." You can even move it around because of it flexibility. This smallest size will run for $2500. It will all come down to how much you like it and the price will not even matter to you. As for now, we will wait and see.

A Carry Along Notebook.

The more computers are develop, the more portable they become. It is all about simplicity and the convience that comes with it for each individual and that is what that drives manufactures to come up with notebook that we can carry along. "The Simple Life," is what we all want. Think about owning one of these, if you don't like to type or maybe your job require a lot of standing, then you will love this gadget. It is all about your personal style and what works for you.
This notebook comes with a digital pen that allows you to navigate and input "handwritten data,". This is call the "PaceBlade" and it will be launch by Hewlett-Packard Co so, if you would rather a space saver in your home or just something you can take along without the bulkiness, than maybe you will go for this.

What the future holds.

This is what television will look like very soon, just be patient and you will see television moving to a new level. What is going to be the cost of this new advancement is what concerns me. However, it is going to stay no matter the cost.
This is the new 3D Samsung 9000 series, it converts 2D video to 3D; it ranges in sizes from 19" to about 65," which is also about "third of an inch thin," but the most important part of it all, is that it comes with a "touch-screen" remote that allows you to watch TV on the remote and play your 3D movies on the screen all at once, what an option. This we all know will come with a price, no matter what; it is to the advantage of those that can afford and those that can't afford will have to stay with the old LCD and HDTV, but we all can agree that this new technology is what people have been waiting for, the "thinnest" television ever.

Possible replacements for the computer mouse

Pictured above is Apple's 'multi-touch'

There are a few predictions of future replacements for the computer mouse;

One is a brain-computer interface, which will use the electrical impulses of neurons in the brain to tell the computer what to do. The main problem with this technology today is that it requires implants in the skull to function, which is the only option for some with medical conditions such as paralysis and Lou Gehrig’s disease but not an attractive idea for all computer users.

Another is eye-tracking which uses a high resolution camera and an infrared light but again, this is a high cost option and currently only practical for those with severe physical disabilities.

Voice recognition is now mainly used in business for specific applications like transcribing spoken words to written documents with only a small core group of physically disabled people using it to completely control all functions of their computer. In the future we may all be speaking to our computers instead of using a keyboard or mouse.
