So the most recent invention of technology is "touch screen" and the more it improves, the more you're able to customize. This creation is called application software. As an example for the latest and most recent inventions of technology, the class was introduced to the Microsoft Surface. The Microsoft Surface a.k.a the Milan is a multi touch computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real world objects, helping people interact with digital content in a simple and intuitive way. This trendy "coffee table came out in 2007 and is just now beginning to become a supply on the demand list. The only major problem for the increase of sales is the price. The Milan cost roughly around $10,000. This price isn't really a big deal for most businesses, but non business buyers find this price a bit much.
Using the Milan for Businesses:
Most businesses find this new piece of technology extremely useful. It provides tremendous potential for businesses to improve communication and be more effective in how they deliver information and services to customers. AT&T was the first retail company to introduce the Microsoft Surface in their stores. AT&T tech supporters mentions how the they plan to harness the power of the surface to provide its retail store visits with unique opportunities to learn about the growing universe of mobile applications and devices. In the future, you'll be able to:
Learn: Customers can review features of a particular mobile device by clicking on it. Also you be able to select multiple phones and bring them side by side and compare them
Explore: Customers can view interactive coverage maps at the national, state, local, or street level using a simple touch.
Customize: In the future, customers will be able to drag and drop ringtones, graphics, videos, and more by "grabbing" the content with their hands from a menu and "dropping" it into the phone.
I think this is only the beginning of the improvement of technology. Sure the prices are a little steep, but at the end of the day, this is something that is going to be worth it. What do you think?
I think this technology is truly amazing. But do you really think resturants will have this technology anytime in the future? I feel its too expensive for anyone to purchase so that might be a problem, plus you have to purchase technology that will work with the Milan so that also cost money.
ReplyDeleteI think the surface has a lot of potential. To be able to sit things such as your cell phone and zune on it and operate them without a keyboard and mouse is amazing. Imagine having a business meeting and having a huge touch table for everyone to interact. You don't have to sit at individual computers, and you can almost "see" what everybody is thinking. I wish I had one in my house.
ReplyDeleteI could easly see this becoming a standered thing in many high class restaurants. The fun interactive table would make business lunch not only more enjoyable, but more productive do to the abillity to contect phones. This table, as price drops, will be popping up around the restaurant world.
