Full 5 minute version of the video

If you’ve ever been curious about what the future may hold, check out the video Microsoft Office Labs released titled “2019.” You’ll find a technological utopia using some of today’s technology being applied in everyday settings. The production value of the video rivals that of many Hollywood films, and it certainly makes the point clear that this stuff can be a reality. Stephen Elop presented the montage at the Wharton Business Technology Conference highlighting key technologies including: advanced home networking, surface computing, modal devices and real time interactive classrooms to name a few.

Here’s what Office Labs asked:

How will emerging technology improve our productivity in the years ahead? What opportunities will arise from evolving trends and global change? Microsoft has collaborated with customers, partners, and thought leaders across multiple disciplines to develop scenarios that explore how long-term trends, customer challenges, and emerging technologies might converge to improve our lives, both at work and home.

Video montages are always exciting to watch and helps fuel the thinking on better experiences. What do you think? 10 years? Will we see this? or will we experience something more along the lines of Blade Runner?
