Apx. 8 years ago, company i worked in had a sales movie, from Nokia, showing off what the mobile world would come to.
My boss had high hopes in selling Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) services to companies. But mobile phone was such a hassle for people to get on-line, and the screen on phone was way to small.
Anyway, Nokia video basically showed your mobile phone had replaced, your wallet/plastic cards, camera, GPS, your favourite online 3D gaming platform, postcards, written letters, even your keys to doors and cars.
Now, 8 apx. years has passed, and I stuble upon an article about MIT Emerging Technology Conference. Note the word Emerging !
At the conference Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie explained that he sees the industry evolving into ’spatial computing’.
So we just connect a mobile phone, google street view, microsoft photosynth, a computer disguised as a table, and a lot of other online services. Which is of course cool, but this was sales pitch years ago!
