- FrequentFlyer29, on 03/27/2008, -5/+95Despite your attitude towards Microsoft this video contains few quite interesting ideas. My favorite is the Digital Wallet. All-in-one credit card looks appealing. By the way, what’s up with the amount she pays for her prescription drugs? How far is this in future anyway?
- DoSSiN, on 03/27/2008, -20/+94"Blue Screen Of Death" takes on a new meaning.
- Nysul, on 03/27/2008, -3/+61Everything the video showed was essentially an extension of the tablet PC/PDA and surface. The iphone is hardly the first touch interface.
- vidalsasoon, on 03/27/2008, -6/+60We're only at about 50% BSOD jokes. Crank it up a bit.
- luke16, on 03/27/2008, -25/+70*Windows has unexpectedly crashed during a kidney operation, please restart the patient*
- monkey1016, on 03/27/2008, -6/+51Morphine drip has encountered a problem and needs to close. You will now start feeling pain. Click ok to continue.
- unique172, on 03/27/2008, -2/+45Microsoft has fantastic concept ideas, but so few of them ever become a reality...
- theOster, on 03/27/2008, -1/+36i can just imagine the beauty of swiping your card at the pharmacy and all of a sudden "HERPES MEDICINE" is projected on teh wall next to you. maybe they could include an arrow pointing at you while they're at it....
- fcrow, on 03/27/2008, -7/+40Would love to see this vision become a reality!
- Search153, on 03/27/2008, -25/+48For as long as Americans pursue profits through the healthcare system, it will have no future.
- tnoy, on 03/27/2008, -1/+22No, if it were apple, you'd have to use iTunes for everything.
- SexyInsurance, on 03/27/2008, -2/+21I'm in the health industry and the available technology should make health care more efficient and effective. The future is bright, but not if the government thinks they can do it better than the private sector. This was an exciting video about the future. No paper anywhere.
- sexybobo, on 03/27/2008, -10/+28Microsoft has always been good at making these. The probalem is when they actualy ship the product it will be a paper clip
"You appear to be having a heart attack would you like me to tell you what to do for a back ache? - Nysul, on 03/27/2008, -1/+17Yah, I'm sure the government will get right on this.
- OldJesser, on 03/27/2008, -0/+15Yes, bartenders and waitresses everywhere are devastated without the future of American health care.
- covertress, on 03/27/2008, -3/+17Being a tablet pc user, I enjoy seeing that enhanced in this future. lc, I hope they don't program that query. lol
- Darkhacker, on 03/27/2008, -3/+17Because people will spend billions of dollars on research and development of medicines and technology out of the goodness of their heart. /sarcasm
There is nothing wrong with making profits. It's how the economy works and how we all have nice homes, cars, and computers. The key is playing by the rules. Breaking the rules is what screws things up, not trying to gain profit and compete in a free market.
I'm currently on medication that is keeping me alive. I think if you were in the same situation, you wouldn't be on such a moral high horse about "zomg evil b1g ph4rm4!!!" - latova, on 03/27/2008, -3/+16My heart isn't running genuine software, so now it won't turn on anymore. :(
- jhaks, on 03/27/2008, -1/+14*sigh* I hate these comments, not to mention all the BSOD and other lame MS jokes. None of this stuff is even remotely funny anymore and that whole crap about UAC (that Apple spewed forth from its "imaginative" bash PCs advertising) perplexes me; if you have ever used Linux or OSX as a non-root account UAC shouldn't seem strange at all. Can't anyone just comment on the contents of the video instead of Microsoft? I was really hoping I wouldn't see this type of childish crap when I clicked on the comments link.
- Bajwa123, on 03/27/2008, -2/+13You know, i just hope all this wont seem to me in the future how the remote seems to my grandma today
- HenvY, on 03/27/2008, -2/+12Both totally awesome and completely plausible.
- KixEvilCereal, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10wut?
- g3ck0, on 03/27/2008, -1/+11Maybe if you didn't save everything as .docx you wouldn't feel like such a fool
- ejhdigdug, on 03/27/2008, -6/+15Damn I just had to reboot my side table, which drug do I take again?
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -3/+12In the future, that waiting room wall projector is going to be a great opportunity to rickroll the patients.
- SirDomino, on 03/27/2008, -8/+17Darn, was hoping this was Bill Gates and his foundation trying to bring affordable health care to American Citizens... The future looks great for those who can afford it.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9Instead there will just be Death.
- TomGfromCanada, on 03/27/2008, -2/+10most people still have problems with automatic checkouts.
- philhatesyou, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9Core dumps don't stop. A program crashes and you get a core dump. If you're going to make a techy nerd joke, try to make sure you have at least a small grip on what it is you're talking about.
- ejhdigdug, on 03/27/2008, -4/+12You just turned 30, time to renew!
- tnoy, on 03/27/2008, -8/+15If microsoft is the future, at least I'll still be able to choose between a couple dozen hardware vendors.
- DanBoodro, on 03/27/2008, -3/+10*heart
- zephc, on 03/27/2008, -3/+10It accidentally prescribes viagra when what you needed were anti-rejection drugs for your new heart.
- ejhdigdug, on 03/27/2008, -1/+7For those of us who still like to draw.
- debuggercll, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6He could mean a cochlear implant too.
- SSCrow, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5pretty sure by the time this comes around we will have some biotic Eyes in a decent fashion.
We already have them now (to an extent) - KixEvilCereal, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Blindness? Thing of the future?
Pay attention! - titlesaysitall, on 03/27/2008, -3/+8EPIC RETARDATION.
- ArchiTech, on 03/27/2008, -3/+8I believe Search153's point was not to disrespect the existence of pharmaceutical companies, rather take aim at the fact that not every American would even be able to dream of such a healthcare system simply because they could not afford it.
I live in Canada, I still buy prescription drugs from the same large pharmaceutical companies that you do. The only difference between you and me is that I will only pay a fraction of what you had to pay.
I won't have to pay the receptionist when I leave my doctors office
I won't have to pay the lab technician for the tests I had done
I won't have to pay for the ambulence that saved my fathers life
I won't have to pay for the hospital room where my niece was born
If the government can pay for security (police), emergency protection (fire-fighters), education (school's, libraries, museums), infrastructure (roads, utilities), then why can't they pay for one of the most essential services to humanity and it's health and well being?
It is my understanding that doctors take a Hippocratic oath upon entry into the practice. Someone please show me the line in the oath that tells the individual that money is more important than saving lives. - Metalcard, on 03/27/2008, -4/+9How does any of that help you if your blind? Brail system be damned in this future we seek.
- somespecial, on 03/27/2008, -10/+15Those ideas are stolen from the movie "Idiocracy"
- zephc, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!
- MarkKezner, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Digital wallets seem like the perfect vehicle for the RealId, which scares the bejesus out of me
- ejhdigdug, on 03/27/2008, -2/+7They're alredy trying this with RFID tags, the problem is they're incredibly ease to hack and steal people's money from:
http://tv.boingboing.net/2008/03/19/how-to-hack-an ... - marcus1060, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5That's pretty neat.
- MioTheGreat, on 03/27/2008, -2/+72003 called: It wants your joke back.
- FutureGuy, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6I don't think ur time can ever be a waste.
- badassninja, on 03/27/2008, -3/+8My personal health being uploaded to anyone's server? I don't think.
On a different subject, hey MS, why don't you stop making bull ***** videos and make a new OS already. - MAGZine, on 04/22/2008, -2/+6Phenomenal.
I would love to see this happen in today's world. Its all very intuitive. Some privacy issues may arrise, but the mechanics of this is simply brilliant. Awesome concept Microsoft; we know you have the money to put it to work, now make it happen. -
