Microsoft NEW Technology Microsoft Surface

In this video you can see what the new line of technology is coming out with. Who would have thought that in just a few years we would have something so different from what we are used to? The Microsoft surface is the new revolutionary computer that is hands on, no need to have the old fashion keyboard or a mouse, its time to let our fingers glide through the board and let our imaginations do the work. This video was made in 2007 and we are in 2009. Does this say something to you? How long is it going to take for it to come out? As you can see in the video it is a multi-touch surface that responds to hand gestures that the body does or makes. The multi-touch boards have been around for a while now, in bars, clubs and even restaurants but now is the time to take it to a next level, homes.

The multi-touch Microsoft Surface is probably going to be one of Microsoft's biggest sales of the century. It seems to be that once this product is out on the market it might sale because the cost ranges from $5,000-$10,000, and most people complain that regular computers cost too much, so after a few months the price will lower and people will start buying more. The good thing about this surface board is that even thought it has been mentioned to be coming out in the near future, the screen screen will be 30 inch's, not only is the screen big but it can be used for people that do not have good eye-sight. It seems to be that Microsoft is trying to make the tech world similar to the movie Minority Report. Also, there is a product which is almost exact to the Surface board which is the Apple Iphone, that does not allow you to do everything the Surface board does but some of them.

  1. the video about Microsoft Surface was really fun wathcing, because it has got so many great features like importing, exporting multimedia such as photos, videos. Also facilitating the online shopping. The obvious issue is the security issue, for example if you do online shopping and use your credit card, or what if someone hacks into the Microsoft Surface. But what I am more interested in i how does that system work? For example if you are exporting or importing photos and videos, according to the video, it looked like you can do it without any connection, no problem to do it, but maybe you need a camera that has a certain reader or something to be compatible with Microsoft Surface, or Credit Card that has certain reader for Surface, and more product. If it really needs a reader, then if once this becomes popular, many companies will have to change their products, modifying into "Microsoft Surface Capable" or something lik that. That will cause a huge impact on those companies
