Intel’s Look Into The Future (Video)

Thank you Gizmodo for sharing yet another interesting entry on bad ass technology. You have to admit, the scenarios illustrated in a elegantly stitched storytelling of vignettes is pretty frikkin’ cool. I’ve heard Intel is doing a lot of different kinds of work - yes they do more than just micro chips that make your laptop go vroom - and this is evidence of that quality. While I could probably go off on how sweet it would be to just reply to emails with simple voice commands (not the robot sounding kind either), tell your computer to query the web for news reports and updates, automated cruise control and ambient displays that offer just enough attention to tell you your best friend calling about clubbing tonight, I couldn’t help but wonder if this is actually what people want?

There are a lot of instances where we want to do all these cool things with wicked awesome technology. But then, we find ourselves going back to what we were so comfortable with like paper, the pencil, simple calculators and printing reports instead of reading them online. Then again, a lot of the interactions modeled in the video do not necessarily involve low fidelity technology, infact, they require incredible sophisticated technology that has no replacement. It’s still fun to think about though. Enjoy!
