Productivity Re-Imagined
From the Microsoft Office Labs Blog: Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop unveiled Microsoft’s vision for how we re-imagine productivity in our daily lives. In his speech you’ll see Stephen communicate the latest ideas and technical aspirations from across the company. It’s an exciting day as we go public with this vision and we hope you will take a moment to watch the speech:
Over the last year we’ve worked closely with partners, customers and R&D groups across Microsoft. So what will you see? You’ll see technology becoming more invisible, but working harder for you in both your work and personal life. Imagine a future where creating a document with a colleague will be as easy as having a conversation. Making connections with people and your content will be secure and seamless. Relevant insight and information will be delivered proactively and in context to the task at hand.
Mobile devices will be more powerful than desktop computers of today. Technology will connect you with the information you need, when and where you need it, whether it be your local coffee shop, an airport, or a roof top in Hong Kong. Software will be there to make getting things done as efficiently as possible in new ways that are more natural.
We are already exploring many of these concepts… check out our envisioning and concept test experiments that begin to explore how we are working to make this future a reality.
Great ideas coming out of Microsoft these days. Hopefully some of these innovativations will make it down to the masses in affordable options.
