Isn't Technology wonderful?

I attended the Microsoft Sharepoint Forum yesterday at Suntec. And I was totally impressed by the all the new technologies that they showcased there.

I think, perhaps in 2-4 years, the work environment, in terms of how we produce, collaborate, share documents and information will be very different from what we have now. If the trends continue the way they are heading, it would really be a paperless office that we will be working in.

And who knows, perhaps in another decade or so, we will be really be totally immersed in a virtual environment ala The Matrix style. Won't that be absolutely cool? No more typing or using the mouse, just point and command the computer with normal, everyday speech.

Just a taste of what they can do with these new technologies. The Hard Rock site above shows off this thing called "Deep Zoom". The picture you see above can be seamlessly zoomed in many many times to see even more details. (See below - running left to right on each row)

By the way, you will be prompted to install this softwear called Microsoft Silverlight to see the picture. Microsoft Silverlight is a revolutionary platform for developing next generation web applications.
