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.
