I think Microsoft is already touching the technology of the future with its Microsoft Surface. Take a look at this site:

Considering where we were 15 years ago I think this should be easy to accomplish in the next 10 to 15 years. If we can’t get at least that far by 2023 I’ll be really disappointed. (If we are still around in 2023)

I think we can have something like this in 10 years. Many cars are starting to get equipped with GPS, and already have wireless capabilities such as Bluetooth. I think the mobile world is really going to breakthrough in the next 10 years, and so I would definitely think this is possible. Really the video doesn’t do much other than cloud computing (which we already know is heavily in the works) and recognizing when devices are near each other. I think mobile phones and computers will be working together in the future together, and then we’re just waiting for the in-vehicle interaction to catchup.

I would actually have to disagree with that. Really the only time that I run into serious issues is when I try to do something on a system that it isn’t meant to do. Maybe it is tweaking files that I’m not familiar with, or adding incompatible hardware. There might be issues getting everything setup initially, but once you get it going it normally works pretty good.

As Inferno_str1ke pointed out, things like API access and such could really make systems like this usable by any device. I’m sure companies like Microsoft will be forced to make a system like this open if they want it to be successful.

This is really cool but I’m afraid you’ll have to have software from the same maker (in this case: Microsoft) in all of those devices for it to work properly Once that is not necessary anymore, I believe it’s gonna be in everyone’s life.

That’s what so much of the modern day internet services we use are doing correctly – API access, universal logins, all these things move us away from required operating systems, hardware specs and such and to a much more free technology generation.

I’m positive ten years from now we’re going to be in a completely different technological world. For example, the leap forward created by Apple’s iPhone is very promising.

Flying an object heavier than air was pure fantasy in 1903, yet the Wright Brothers made an airplane fly at Kitty Hawk and now we’re getting ready to to Mars. Inventiveness is part of human nature.

If anyone is interested in knowing that is to come in the future, I suggest that you read the book ‘The Singularity is Near’ by Ray Kurzweil. His predictions about the future make the things shown in that video seem like child’s play. The future of technology has endless possibilities. Read the book. I really recommend it.
