Future technologies

Predicting future is hard, but fun job. Here is a pick of videos from YouTube:

• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=92uaW9K6QEk  — future of mobile by Nokia, pt. 1
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LN0vVf-a9V0  — future of mobile by Nokia, pt. 2
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3WdS4TscWH8 — the classic Apple knowledge navigator concept
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QcYrPkFe2J0 — the Apple Future Shock video
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YRCFWdZicOM — the future of kitchen… by GE
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1RXNWwGUsBU  — a ‘did you know’ video/powerpoint show by educator Karl Fisch
• http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LtKQNwqNLLk&NR=1  — Microsoft ‘surface’ demo

There is something slightly comical in this line of techno-futurism and excitement about the future, if you keep on watching these long enough. On the other hand, optimism is sweet. One-sided, but still sweet.
