A Day Made of Glass: Our Fututre?

So I decided to switch it up and start having some different content on my blog. There is a ton more that I am interested in. Did you guys know I've always been some what of a sci-fi buff? I have always enjoys movies that showed glimpses of the future, not far fetched notions like The Jetsons but the likes of I Robot and Surrogates. These films seems feasible as a possible advance.

I came across this clip of a possible near future society dominated by touch screen applications. Upon watching this clip I found many of the applications possible, such as the touch screen 3-D TV being that there are models by Panasonic emerging now. Many of the tools shown remind me of variations of the now popular I-Phone and I-Pad, more technologically advanced and the Kindle that's now a popular alternative to paper books.

What really appealed to me was the networking and business capabilities, being that I am going to be in a fast paced field I appreciate the quick communication, display options and overall ease that it provided the people to conduct their meeting via webcam.

Watching the clips, although amazed by the advancement I did wonder were some of them practical, such as the bus stop and highway signs that had LCD screens. The LCD billboards were reminiscent of those in Times Square and Tokyo.

Overall this piece demonstrated the power of innovative thinking, for the I-Phone was once just a notion and now one of the most popular pieces of technology. The clip stated at the beginning that this was in the "near" future, I hope that I will be able to witness an utilize theses tools in my career.

Your Thoughts?
