Microsoft Surface: The Fanciest Coffee Table Ever
When I started watching this video demonstrating Microsoft's latest technological innovation, I was a little impressed. Then, at about the halfway mark (right about when someone put a cell phone on the table and the table knew what kind of cell phone it was), I became very impressed.
But after all was said and done, what had I seen? A fancy coffee table that I could use to email photos, access Google Maps, or order more dessert at dinner. The technology is great -- but without being applied to any sort of higher purpose, Surface is just that: an interesting surface, without anything going on underneath.
