A Look into the Future from Microsoft

Thanks to Greg Verdino for the tip-off to this video from Microsoft. Some cool ideas here as to how we might interact in the future. I've had the chance to visit their house of the future, where they also show some very cool ways to engage information. I think that one of the key take-away's is that content/info needs to follow us where ever we go and that's the next big jump in this new, high-tech world. Of course, that also brings up a ton more questions, like: 

1. Who has the responsibility for all of this information?
2. Who updates it & decides what gets updated?  
3. Does the role of the curator (or editor) increase in this new world?
4. Will consumer accept brands as curators and, if so, what do brands need to be doing today  to prepare for the curator role?

We're only seeing the tip of the iceberg here, but I think as more & more people start to look at this brave new world from the consumers POV instead of constant looking at this new world from the brand POV, we'll start seeing some very exciting innovations that the consumer will embrace.
