If you have ever enjoyed finger painting then you’ll be really excited about Surface. The people at Microsoft have come up with a desktop computer that is, literally, a table-top. A touch screen controlled by the movements of your hands, Surface is the simplest computer interface yet. You can also place objects on it, like a digital camera, and the computer will recognize the object (through barcode scanning) and take the appropriate action, like downloading your pictures. It’s only just been unveiled but some companies have already jumped on this technology. Hotels can use Surface in their lobbies— its multi-user interface makes it easy for guests to look at photos together and make online postcards to send home to their families. Restaurants can use it for ordering— just place a bottle of wine on the table, and you will be charged the appropriate amount. Of course, the uses of Surface will not stop there. Even easier to use than a regular PC, prices will go down and people will be able to choose to go mouse- and keyboard-free. Microsoft wants EVERYONE to have a computer in their home.
