The future of information workers according to Microsoft, and BI plays a big part by Kasper de Jonge.
New video from Microsoft about a possible IT future.
Does it have a Futurama (New York World’s Fair) sense to you?
Futurama was an exhibition at the 1939 World’s Fair. To get a sense of the exhibit, view: To New Horizons (1940)
Running time is almost 23 minutes and it takes almost a third of that to get to the Futurama part. A vision of what 1960 will look like.
Watch the MS video and then the other.
Discussion questions:
- How near/far from the future is the MS video?
- What semantic impedances need to be reduced for such a future? (people to people, people to data (searching), machine to machine)
- Which ones first?
