Micrsoft demonstrates its latest implementation of its Surface technology on a large spherical display.
While this device shows great ingenuity on behalf of the Microsoft programmers and engineers. I don’t see this as a very practicle device. Maybe I’m just being a little short sighted about touch screen technology, which I think is nothing more than a fad.
Technology companies will continue to try and find more applications for it but for the most part its place is in small mobile devices which are too small to have a full-sized keyboard.
Think about it, what would you rather have in your living room, the latest Dell or Apple desktop computer or one of those “spherical things”?
Dont get me wrong providing the price is not rediculously expensive, a device of this kind will have a good place in some multimedia exhibition, or in museums. But they have no real practical application in most businesses which is what Microsoft seems to be touting and they definately have no place in the average household.
