The Future of Computing
Microsoft has created Microsoft Surface. The concept is nothing new. It’s based on multi-point touch input, which has been a concept in computing for over twenty years, but it does represent the first huge change in user interface design since the mouse. It’s even being used on Apple’s soon to be released iPhone, but it’s a shame the iPhone’s interface is too small to take full advantage of the concept. What impressed me the most about Microsoft’s prototype was its ability to interface with peripheral devices. I’ve never considered interfacing with other devices in such a manner. The term drag and drop truly comes to life with this device. I can’t wait until I can slap a picture of any object on the table and it will show me the cheapest place to buy it. This stuff totally gives me a techno erection. Speaking of that, I wonder what porn will be like on a device like this.
