Get a feel for the future of computing

Those who know me know what a techno geek I am. I count Minority Report as one of my favorite visions of future technology and it leaves me breathless with gear lust. A few videos have been circulating our office recently talking about the future of the computer interface. They're both worth a few minutes of your time...ten and four, respectively. If you don't have time to watch, they'll be coming to a computer near you in five years or less anyway. Just stay tuned.

TED technology innovation conference (see how with MultiTouch technology, the iPhone merely brushes the surface of interface potential)

Microsoft's tabletop computing (shows broader applications; tabletop file transfer is out of control. If you only have time for one of these vids, watch this one.)
