Seeing the Future.

Microsoft Office Labs has recently released a video montage allowing us a look at what they predict the future of technology may bring. They've created their predictions with a 5-10 time horizon in mind. The montage ranges from topics such as Health, Manufacturing, Banking, an Retail.

Health-Imagine a future where you can monitor your own health with smart, connected devices, your health team can share data seamlessly, and doctors are empowered with a view of health records across multiple sources--all leading to better, faster, safer, more personalized care.

Manufacturing-Imagine a manufacturing environment of the future where workers collaborate seamlessly across time-zones, predictive, technologies automate processes, and sense and respond systems are connected across organizations, leading to better innovation, improved efficiencies, and more flexibility for customized products.

Banking-Imagine a banking experience where you're always connected to your finances, banks are empowered to anticipate your needs, and transactions are seamless through predictive technologies-whether you're in the branch, at home, or on the go.

Retail-Imagine a store of the future where you can quickly find and purchase everything you need;you have instant access to the product information you want;and the store can anticipate your needs and provide price and product offers in tune with your shopping history.
