Surface Computer from Microsoft

The use of touch screen had been around for a while now and stretching it a bit further to do more things might not be such a wonder, after all. However, its advantages could be unlimited, because it could make life easier for people who will be looking for information in public places. It is possible to say good bye to the information booth or there might not be a need to deal with those fixed guides that are placed in buildings to help new visitors find their way around and the surface computer could be packed with more capabilities where each office could have its own page and it might be possible to interact with the receptionist without making it there in person. It is not only that booking and reservation using the surface computer is also going to be made possible.

It could also serve as a public computer many people can use to do things online without waiting turn since it could be made bigger to accommodate many users. However, since it has to be a fixture some place it might not have good use in the home or office or in the world of mobile computing, yet it is possible to install it inside an office and let many people use it at the same time, by dragging and dropping what they want with their bare hands. The fact that it recognizes brushes and similar tools and respond to what they are doing also might make it useful to artists who can use it as a canvas. As far as public use is concerned it could have all the capabilities of computers in public places that no one can carry away and it could have a virtual keyboard. And the future ATMs could have up to ten terminals dispensing money and could solve the lineup problem in busy locations.
